you are correct of course but I do not hold much hope for solutions to the things you are describing. My advice to any newbie would be to use BIAB to generate instrument tracks that follow your song's chord progressions & tempo, export them dry & centered and then do all of your production in your modern DAW software. Don't bother with any feature that does not directly aid you in getting those instrument tracks exported!
Sadly true. I don't touch recording, notation(which leaps around) , Audio editors - featureless. VSTs - blippy, simply because they don't have the functionality or fall over. There are some world class features bot overall Its a mess of a gui. The new improvements are about 5 percent of what is required and even they don't work properly
