It is about HOW WELL YOU KNOW HOW TO USE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE. You don’t need to get out your credit card every time there is a flash sale. You need to learn how to use your mic and you need to know how to mic your guitar.

Very true, I have done radio and TV ready stuff in RB alone. Other DAWs may be able to do so easier or faster for some, but it can be done in PGMusic products too.

To add to your comment, 'knowing how to use your stuff' includes making references so you REMEMBER how to use your stuff.
Example:
We recorded a bass part 2 weeks ago that sounded awesome (like someone was working on a Buick, grin)
This week it took us 10 minutes to find that sound again .. which included me going over and twisting the knobs on the bass itself (while he played a note repeatedly) until we found it.

Once I found the sound we took pictures.

Since we recorded him with a direct out signal from his amp and not a mic, we didn't have to worry about mic placement, only the amp settings (more pictures!).

Whenever you hit on a sound you like, always document it by saving a new preset, using screen shots, your phone or whatever you can.
Saves time later. smile

Also, I didn't follow your screen shots in your original post, what do they show?
First one has BiaB tracks, second shows a RT, third I'm not sure what to notice. I'm failing to connect the dots
Explanation appreciated, sometimes I'm slower than others

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Make your sound your own!
