well, looks like this thread had fallen through the cracks of my subscribed threads list.
I've only used three DAWs, and only one of them (FL Studio and, less frequently, GarageBand) in passing. If I were to recommend something, I'd say try Mixcraft 6.
As for my quip about "humanization", this refers to the use of imperfect timing as well as velocity changes on different instruments to make it seem like someone played it live instead of synthesized by a computer. I don't know if you can imitate this is a notation software like MuseScore.
If you wanna look at a DAW, take a look at Mixcraft, run its trial mode (14 days, when the trial ends you lose the ability to 'mix down' to mp3, but you can extend the trial by a few days - I'd save that for a really rainy day), and if you like it, go ahead and buy it. It's only around $80, and there are plenty of other DAWs that cost more for versions with fewer features (looking at you FL Studio and Ableton Live!).
