Well said Manning. This is the lesson we all learn or we give up on it. If a person is new at this and they're here because they just bought PG products, then learn those products only for now. Once they've become proficient with Biab and RB and can make educated observations about certain things that may be missing in RB for example, then look into branching out to something else but until then, stay at home and learn these programs inside and out first. In the process of doing that, they will start picking up the basics of mixing and mastering too. As you certainly know, mixing and mastering is a full university course of study all by itself. You're not going to be a pro mixing engineer overnight but these programs provide the means to produce pretty good sounding results with minimal effort.
