InBiaB I can drag the Master track to the drop station and, with suitable control and shift key combinations, I can easily move all my tracks onto another DAW.
Can I do the same in RB?

Jonel, you can drag to the drag station or directly to the other DAW if it allows that. I test with Reaper and it works fine. I did not find a way to highlight and drag all the tracks I am still exploring that. What DAW do you usually drag to? Also, why would you drag out of RB? Just curious as to what you need that RB does not have. I have Reaper, Harrison Mixbus and RB as DAWs but rarely leave RB anymore as it has come a long way in the last two or three years.

Thanks Rob. I was able to work on single tracks but needed to know if RB had the same capability as BB. I now realise that it doesn't.
I use both Sonar and Ableton for the final processing of tracks because of the wide range of tools available to work with MIDI and Audio.

Yes you are correct RB is different in that area from BiaB for the reason that it is was developed as a companion to BiaB. It is where BiaB tracks go to be mixed and mastered. Some folks prefer other DAWs to do that and that is everyone's personal choice since we all mix differently.
One thing i did was to buy (on sale) the Harrison 32c channel strip plugin and a couple high end mastering plugins and i set up a template in RB with the first one on each channel and a solid mastering setup on the output. This gives me a first class DAW right in RB.
I also find the PG plugin far better than i first thought. The reverb and limiter are pretty good. RB has very powerful Midi tools, but the audio mastering was a tad lacking. As i said the plugins are better than i thought but they require a lot of setup to get exactly what i like. The same is true as well with other plugins. The Reaper plugin are nice but also require a lot of fiddling to get what one wants.
Adding the 32c channel strip gives me a plugin that i can dial in as needed with a lot of visual feedback. Especially the compressor. It allows you to slowly raise the level until you just see it start to react. This keeps you from over compressing tracks. The EQ is very responsive and give a warm old school vibe. This tool would work great in Abelton and Sonar. I have used it in Reaper as well and got stellar results. I used to have Studio One and Sonar on my computer but got tired of updates and changes to multiple software packages. I deleted both. i also bought Harrison Mixbus on a sale Love it but rarely use it anymore. I bought Reaper since it is somewhat inexpensive. I use it when i need something RB does not do in a way i like. It does get used rarely now. Since PGM added the ability to clean up the GUI and the upgraded comping tools VST3 and a few other cool things i find BiaB and RB to get it done faster and more efficient. That just me though. My needs are relatively simple. I do not use a lot of midi unless it is in a backing track file i download or I can't find a RTs i like.
Just some of my musings. Much success to you.

Fastest way I know in RB is to open both DAWS and grab the number of the track in RB and drag to other DAW.
It goes pretty quick depending on track count.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Me either, I just drag them one by one. It goes pretty quick one after another, once you do a few and trust it
Dragging tracks from RB to Reaper is almost instantaneous.
The slow part is me going back and forth on each one, but you can get pretty quick at that, at least here.
To make it easy I give RB the focus (click somewhere on it)
Hold Windows key and tap Right Arrow, this should pin it to the right side of the screen, with the track numbers of the Tracks window in the middle of the screen.
Do the same with DAW using Wndows key and tap Left arrow so it is on left hand side of screen, showing where you can drag tracks to.
Then drag each one quick.
I don't know a way to do multiple, just suggesting what I've found.

The problem is other music apps support D and D in various ways There would have to be a common standard agreed to by creators of music apps.
