Carkins, your post makes me ask this question yet again with hope I get concrete answers this time.

Protools, Reaper, Sonar, Logic, Bob's DAW..... all the stalwart defenders of those programs have yet to give me a specific "Reaper does this thing <insert specific feature here> and RB does not.

Outside of not being able to use mixer fade automation, I see nothing that another DAW can do that RB can't. That takes me to the point of "Is it just that you know <insert DAW name here> better and rather than learn where RB does things you keep using your old choice?"

The music creation part of RB has become so subliminal that when people try to compare RB to their favorite DAW they seem to be totally oblivious to the fact that none of those other programs generate the actual music. That has always amazed me that the "comparers" want to compare apples to grapefruit. Until Protools, Reaper, Sonar, Logic, and Bob's DAW can actually CREATE the music like RB does, there is no discussion to be had. One is a car, one is a skateboard. They both get you where you want to go, eventually, but one does more than the others. That would be RB.

So again I ask the people who move their tracks to a different DAW rather than do final mix down in RB, what is it that your favorite DAW does that RB doesn't do?
