i in no way want RB to be the swiss army knife of DAWs, a gazzion features, and none of them work well. Yes i have other DAWs, but truth be told i hardly ever crack them open anymore because i do pretty much everything in RB and BiaB. I have not tracked a tune in Sonar, Reaper, or MTS in over a year. I love RB. I do not want to keep paying for upgrade on two or three platforms. I do not want Rb to leave it's path and try to swallow up all other DAWs. I just want to see a few of the features it already has be refined a bit. It has automation, lets make it just a little bit better. It has VSTi implimentation, let's make it a little bit better. it has multitrack input capability, lets make it a little bit better. Then you have a very rich and powerful program that does things others can't even imagine.

Jeff thanks for weighing in, and you question is valid. When i track the guitar on input 1, and the vocals on input 7/8 it fills in the middle tracks and when i tried to track over them it said that those tracks were taken. Now maybe i can still track right over that, but my thought was i couldn't. I will try that tommorrow. I think a great refinement would be to make each track assignable for whatever inputs you have available.
