I agree, but, it is going to take time, and some of it may not happen. I have to remind myself, there is a reason these other programs do not do what BiaB/RB does, they do not know how to add all that to what they already do, without adding a buttload of problems.

It is also hard to make RB do everything Sonar, or Acid, or studio one, or Logic does. Some of these software are pretty buggy because of all the stuff added for years, i worry adding full on Acid capability , full on Reaper capability, full on Sonar capability to RB will introduce a lot of problems. The more you ask any platform to do, the more you add the possibility to make it unstable. I would like to see a little more refinement on the automation envelopes, and maybe fix the VSTi issues, and add maybe a bit better audio editing. and then work on making things generate a bit faster.

But please don't try to add in all the major features of half a dozen different programs. It would end up being a complete hot mess.

I believe this, cause i have watched the other forums for years now, Sonar went from stable to shakey, and is still fighting to come back from there.

I think the melding of Powertracks, and BiaB is a tall order, and it shows in the struggle Rb has to open up the BiaB engine each time it is opened.

Anyway it is very interesting to watch the development, and i often wonder just what Peter's vision of where he would like to take Rb in the long run.
