I guess when I read this I am starting to get confused on PG Musics vision and goals for their software. When I first started using the software it seemed to be the goal to allow musicians of all levels to have a simple to use music program that facilitated creativity and increased the enjoyment of the process. Maybe that was a misunderstanding on my part but that is what it felt like as a customer.

I am always amazed at the creativity of the software developed by this group when they focus on something. The whole concept of RealBand took software generated accompnient to a whole new level for an entry level price with a relatively small learning curve. It produces tracks that can only be obtained by purchasing keyboards or sound modules of significant higher pricing. The great thing about PG music is that it is one of the few software packages that has real strong support for acoustic based music. Loops are great but the control factor RB is starting to give is a pretty neat feature and lacking in the music software industry.

I am not sure what Rewire adds unless it is to expand the market available. I understand that concept and it is critical to any business. I guess my fear is you can try to be too many things to too many people. Is it time to take a step back and ask the question at a business level of "Who are we?" and Who do we want to serve in the music industry?"

To me Rewire would just add a level of complexity. I have all I can handle with BIAB, RB, PT and Sonar.

Please don't take this post as a negative to the PG software family. I love and use this software often and it has taught me a lot. I want nothing but continued success for the company. It is just sometimes in this age of information overload simplicity can be a strategic move in and of itself. Maybe since I am not Rewire user I am just missing the great features it could add. I will continue to read comments to see if my mind changes.

Thanks for asking though as that is a great trait of PG.
