Mac i hear ya, on the debate, i do not have a survey to back my views, and i might be speaking from personal needs. I use RB more than BiaB, and i can see Rewire being huge in BiaB, due to the one synth architecture, but the question went out for RB, not BiaB. As five hands said above BiaB would be a very potent idea machine. My isuues is that (once again personal view) I do not have any Rewire synths. But i do have a couple rewireable DAWs, so i can see the advantage there.

I still run on the "fix the problem before moving on" platform. VSTi is not done, but is still bakin in the oven as we speak. But hey if the team is willing, let's have both! It was interesting to hear above that there was a time that PG music had to decide whether to go DX or VST, and chose DX. This reminds me of the earler Cakewalk issues, since they were also DX based, and as time went on they had to move furhter towards VST, first with a wrapper and then with full implimentation.

I am one that would use RB almost exclusively if it had two things:

1. Full VSTi implimentation, and

2. A bit more stabiliy.

The second due to it still crashes and locks up to much on me. So i accept your view on this as being more broad based then mine for sure, but i still bet that more people here use VSTi instruments than use rewire. But i could be wrong!
