Thank you my friend 
Now we turned on to a constructive path. Great.
I only know Sonic Core by name, but I will check it out. I am certainly on the look for, what I call, a new mixing environment.
I can’t afford Nuage, but wouldn’t spend that kind of money on something so depended on a piece of software anyway.
Mixing in Cubase 6.5 and Nuendo 5.5 has worked fine with me (with a small controller for automation rides etc), but for some reason I just can’t get to like the C7/7.5 mixer and Control Room (I am on the verge of bringing out my old monitor mixer for cue mixes).
I have plenty of hardware hooked up through external FX’s (see sig). Both reverbs/delays and compressors/eq’s. Working great.
Thanks for good explanation
