Hi Terry,
I don’t know if you are up for this, but Ableton Live seems to have just the facilities you are looking for, the “Intro” version is on offer at £55. 00 at the moment and has two help panels that guide you through things like setting up and interactive help.

One of the features is what they call scenes, which is audio or MIDI that can be entered into slots within the track and can switch freely between them, but only one per track can be on at a time. It’s very low latency and is excellent for live play, recording and experimenting, it also has a unique way of handling plugins.
I’m pretty comfortable with most DAW’s and switched to the Suite version about two years ago having tried a trial version that came with my audio interface, it’s the same core system for the Lite version with less tracks and plugins, so pretty powerful.
It does do many thing in different ways to the more conventional approach, but I found it a relatively easy learning curve that intuitively brings more advanced features readily to hand. An example is buses, they are already on screen and you only need to turn a track knob to blend them in, most DAW’s you have to set them up.
There are two screens, you can record and do many things in both, but one is more suited for recording and the other live play and experimenting (top right button switches between them).
There is a trial version and the help panel that opens to the right should get you up and running fairly quickly!
Regards
Gary
PS; Just add there are tutorial videos on their website, well worth a look!
