I have found at times that RB is actually easier than the big DAWs like reaper, sonar, studio one to do basic tracking in. I like to use it for most projects.

Where I tend to move over is where I want to really do some advanced type techniques on a project. Still RB will handle a pretty complex mix if you learn it. It has all the basics.

When I bounce a project to, or start a project in Studio one is where I either have no BiaB tracks involved, or I just need some real complex tricks. Like I said above. SD1 has the best comping and drag and drop features I have seen the more I dig in I appreciate the thought that went into that DAW program. It is a very young program and does not have the crazy routing of reaper, but to me that was too much work. It does not have as many big name plug ins as sonar, nor does it have as rich of a midi system, but I don't do full midi written tracks. What SD1 does best is save workload, and to my ear has the best headroom available for tracking. It also has a plethora of unbelievable workflow enhancements.

We need to see each tool as it wa intended a tool in the box. A good carpenter can make a better piece of furniture with a set of hand tools than I can with a full shop of the greatest tool around.
