For someone to think they know music because "I listen a lot" is like saying you could drive in a NASCAR race because you watch a lot of races. Everybody on the planet listens to music. There is no talent involved in having a radio in your car. Playing, singing, writing... that is a skill set that not everybody has, and there are tiers of skill for those who do. AND part of that skill set erodes with age. I can barely play guitar anymore because the arthritis in my ring and FU finger on my left hand won't curl around the neck without a half dozen Aleve, and even then I have no speed anymore. The thing is, I didn't have to give back the knowledge when my physical skills eroded. So for me, and I know of several on here with varying levels of physical malady, a writing tool like BIAB is the only way we can still do this. Musical preference has a lot to do with where you were born and raised, too. 20 somethings from the inner cities were fed hip hop from birth. Older Southerners grew up on Hank Williams. There is no "right" music, and there is no "current" music. Current to me means Motown. That's what was current during my "current" years. I got to see James Brown, Wilson Pickett, The Temps, The Tops, The Supremes... all of them.

Think about kids who were raised in Italy. You think there was a lot of Chinese food served in their homes by Italian mamas? They learned that food was pasta, meatballs, etc. In their later years, they may accept that there are other cuisines, but they will always go back to what they know. Macaroni and meatballs!!!

So the argument about what is "better" is so truly subjective it is never going to be resolved.

I mean you are talking to a die hard fan of a football team that was 1-31 over the last 2 seasons. They are my team, and will always be. My RV life plans are being made based upon where I can find a Browns Backers club so I don't miss any games. Make that analogy to the music you know best and like most.

On topic, software users are ALWAYS going to stay with what they know. ALWAYS. I think Pro Tools is IT. But nobody is required to agree. Nobody. Stay with Sonar, Reaper, Logic, Cubase, Samplitude, Ableton, whatever your little heart desires.
