I know this has been covered a zillion times before (slightly less than “a good bedroom amp”). But if I list some specifics maybe someone can provide the perfect answer for me.

I have already purchased and tried the following sequencers and don’t care for them:

• Ableton Live
  M-Audio Session
  PG Power Tracks
  Reaper

I also own (and use) Magix Music Studio.
It is the closest thing to what I’d want but whenever I do have a question, Magix’s support is useless. And I suspect there is a language problem there.
It is unbearably frustrating to expect an application to behave in a certain (logical) way and it doesn’t.

Here are my list of desired attributes:

• Price: Less than $150.
  Demo version: Must be able to try before purchasing.
  Country of origin (and support): Must be native English speaking.
  Layout and design: Basic. Simple. Little or no bells and whistles.
  Operation: Straightforward. Direct. Visual representation of tracks. No “automation” or “wizards.” No cutesy “Apple-like virtualness.”
  Windows-like WYSIWYG: I expect highlight-select-copy-paste to work like any other PC program.
  Dongle: None.

If you can recommend any, please let me know.

Thanks!

I can't recommend a sequencer as I am not familiar with them, but I would suggest a call to one of the knowledgeable guys at Sweetwater may help you in your quest. I have been very happy with them.
