software that simulates the real thing..

I'm currently a heavy user of FL Studio, Sound Forge, and Acid Pro.
I'm searching for a production suite that can do everything a MIDI/VST/hardware studio needs, while simulating the workings of a professional studio console, just b/c i've had more experience in a recording studio console environment, and ProTools (which isn't one of my available options yet).

things you might find in said environment::
.signal gain & phase control
.signal chain consistency for each input channel
.signal routing/re-routing
.per-channel fx application
.virtual mixer with actual dB readouts & scale
.aux sends
.live recording/mixdown/patterns modes for song elements
...and the usual software suite stuff like vst/midi capability

i can't afford logic, yet. What I'm asking for is what the other options are. Initially I wanted Logic, but perhaps Nuendo or Performer might do it, or maybe even Reason, or Sonar, but I don't know what they offer. Please don't tell me to try the demo of every production app out there. This is not a "what program makes banging pro trax that'll get me money" threads, btw.

How about Cubase SX 2.0? Stable for MIDI.

Works with me but of course I do not use just one program cause I do Rewire with FL and Reason v2.5 together.

Thats what i can think of since Logic is too exp for ya. But Logic is too hard to use for me, cant understand

Good luck mate

If you use Reason and Rewire with Cubase I think I think it might just do most of the things you listed.
