I agree and that is why I posted this. Sometimes posts like this can somewhat alienate you from the user base a bit , due to fear that this is a request to somehow push PG in a direction many don't want to go. That is make it mainstream. Go head to head with the Cubans, sonars and the like. Actually I don't want that. RB to me is very unique. I like it that way. I don't want PG to head down that road at all. I just wish I could use it for all my needs. One of those needs is to use Jamstix, and melodyne. These are regularly used by me in my process.

I just spent three days really evaluating the software on my system looking at each program to see what I want to go forward with. I am on the brink of ,doing an upgrade to the OS, to win 7 or 8, and I know I will have to reinstall a bunch of stuff. I am hoping to reinstall a bit less. BiaB/RB for sure, and since it does the reinstall so simply from the external HD! No problem.

I also own sonar, reaper, and Multitrackstudio, so I just put those three through a very intensive work out to see which one will support RB. So far MTS is winning. It handles Jamstix, and melodyne far better than either reaper or sonar. One thing MTS does with melodyne is that the scroll bar in Melodyne actually follows the song, so that I do not have to keep moving the bar manually. That program, and RB make a killer combo.

Having said that if only RB did JS, and Melodyne. I could start and finish there.

My final test will be which one allows drop and drag the best.

HP Win 11 12 gig ram, Mac mini Sonoma with 16 gig of ram, BiaB 2025, Realband, Reaper 7, Harrison Mixbus 9 32c , Melodyne 5 editor, Presonus Audiobox 1818VSL, Presonus control app.
