First off i want to say that for the most part RB does a very solid job for me. Once they conquer the VSTi timing issue, stabilize the ASIO (for me ASIO actually works quite well), and upgrade the automation to a node based system, and it will be pretty much all i need. The projects i have done entirely in RB have turned out just as good as any other DAW package.

Where RB lacks a feature or two that i like on some projects, i prefer to use either Multitrackstudios (MTS) or Sonar X-1. Both do a great job, Sonar is more sophisticated, but MTS is more stable, solid, and reliable. Plus it has a far deeper and richer feature set than first meets the eye.

I find that with MTS, and BiaB/RB as a combo package i can do just about anything i want.

I also have the latest version of Reaper, which is a potent package, but i prefer the other two over it, just for simplicities sake.

I will admit that Rb takes me a long long way before i find anything really missing that is a deal breaker. The three things mentioned above are the pressing ones i hope for soon.
