I can open more than one app as well, but to move audio and midi between platforms can introduce unique challenges to say the least. Each platform handles drag and drop differently. Timing, timeline, mid tools vary. Even if it is a smooth transition it still take time and work to do.

One thing I think is true to many discounts RB's capability. I have done detailed parallel projects it can flat out hold it's own.

Rharv's comments above reflect my thoughts very clearly. You are right just cause it is free does not mean you have to use it, it also does not mean you should not. RB's seamless integration with BiaB is a very powerful tool, especially for simple projects. 60 tracks of woven sound will need to be done elsewhere.

All in all when I find a limitation in RB I keep a capable tool in the tool bag. No one tool does it all well.
