Do yourself a favor and download and start learning to use REAPER.
Reaper isn't going to help him replace what BIAB does.
You have taken that sentence out of context. Did you miss very next sentence?
BIAB and REAPER are a perfect combination.
Honestly I am always amazed when folks make recommendations to someone struggling with Realband that they continue to work with it. It's issues and limitations as a "DAW" are historically acknowledged on the forum. Eddie, with all due respect, have you not been one of he loudest voices pointing out issues with RB over the years?
I try to keep negative comments regarding RealBand to a minimum. It is what it is and that is what it is. However, when an individual is looking for solid DAW I have no hesitation to provide alternate recommendations.
OK, sorry if I am stirring the pot here. I just felt a bit feisty tonight.
