Wow - I think I'm really getting the idea. Thanks again for the concrete explanation.
Using RB as the basis and center of my home studio took me to places I never dreamed of, and empowered me "to go where no man has gone before". (for all you youngsters, check out the cheesy opening to one of the best science fiction TV series in history - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHhePr0TKfc)

Looking forward to that date coming soon when I can do "what can be done", without encountering all those unforseen technical obstacles, which always seems to happen. I have this fantasy of actually empowering myself with the knowledge to use my home studio in this 'easily do what I know can be done' quickly, so I can actually focus on learning and making music using and playing my instrument. Somehow, my instrument always takes a back seat to the computer/technology tinkering. Perhaps I'm just more the technical/producer type than the musician...we'll see.
