I expected not having to use 2 different DAWs in the normal workflow.


Well, I don't even OWN BiaB (yet) but it took me one session of Google and visiting this forum to find out that, specially for a musician with experience like you say you have, BiaB is more a tool to use to set up the basics of a song after which you finish it a DAW (or RealBand). (I don't even think you can call BiaB a DAW btw.) I think that the only people who really do EVERYTHING in BiaB are content with having a basic (generic) background for their songs. If you want some personality of your own in a song, you have to use another DAW. So if you didn't know that a normal workflow would require a DAW besides BiaB, you bought BiaB too soon and didn't do enough Private Investigations (pun intended! )

Don't get me wrong, I also think the 255 bar limit is a bit er... odd, but you get RealBand with BiaB and you say you have experience with a lot of other DAWs so (so you probably own one or two...?), so I don't really see what's the problem!
