Hi Peter.

Thanks for joining in on this one.

You may have noticed from my posts that I've been using PowerTracks and RealBand in a commercial environment for about fifteen years and I'm a great advocate and promoter of both programs. In my experience, the pro-users with whom I come into contact invariably use RealBand, but rarely BiaB. Like myself, they've moved from PowerTracks simply to be able to incorporate RealTracks into their work.

If people learned how to use all the features of the mixer window, they would realise that even PowerTracks can compete with most of the heavyweight programs and that RealBand is in a league of it's own. I think that Solidrock is right in that RB could be given more attention and possibly released as a stand-alone without Biab and aimed at a more professional user. This would, of course, involve making the mixer's graphics look more like the competition, which has always been my number one on the wish-list. I concede that cosmetics shouldn't make a difference, but unfortunately they do.

In any case, it's good to see "the boss" joining in on these discussions - it doesn't happen in most companies. Thanks.

ROG.
