As for whether RB is good enough as a DAW, who knows. The only other DAW I've even looked at was Reaper, because people were telling me it's so easy to use...but my initial impression was quite different. But again it was just a first look and I didn't really use it enough to be sure. I just hope there are others which are easier!



Just to be perfectly clear...my comments above were about RealBand and whether or not you should use it or another DAW. If you are wondering whether or not to purchase BIAB there is no question...BUY IT! Whether you wanna use it for live backing tracks, near-demo-quality recordings, songwriting, learning or whatever you will not find anything even close to how good it is when you are using RealTracks! Without RealTracks I would not be using it but with RealTracks it is Amazing!

Two tips...1) wait for the end of year sale if you can and 2) buy the option with the full set of RealTracks.

And then you can decide later on if RealBand is for you.
