While the 2 programs are by the same company and work together and in similar fashion, they really do have 2 very unique purposes. Use them for their strengths to work efficiently.

Kinda like tools... while you can use a pair of lineman's pliers as a hammer to drive a nail, you get the job done more efficiently using a hammer. But that doesn't mean you can't drive a nail with the pliers, it's just easier to use a hammer, especially if you're driving a lot of nails.

I arrange my songs in BB.... getting the structure right... verses, chorus, bridge, intro, ending, tempo, key..... etc....

RB and other DAW's give you a much better environment to do editing and mixing. Cut, copy, paste, delete, are all much easier to accomplish in a DAW than in BB. Besides, you are limited to a small number (6) tracks in BB whereas in RB and other DAW's that number is much higher depending on the particular DAW. Some allow in excess of 200 tracks.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
