Thank you for the responses.

It would seem that there is confusion as to what is on offer and how to sift through and get the best deal.

I too am delighted to use my vst's in BB and to have BB in my DAW. I like the options to be able to use midi and audio files when composing and strive for the sound i'm looking for and BB has done a wonderful job over the years.

I never feel as if I am staring at a blank page when in BB. There is always a spark to ignite creativity there. That is not always the case inside a top end DAW. I use them more for mastering instruments and my vocals. I declined the upgrade to Cubase this year. I felt they were not offering enough to long term user upgrades for such a hefty price. This is not the case with BB. I consider the courtesy, help and the efforts put in to their customers to supply what is asked for superb. There are always snags but they are dealt with rapidly.I am satisfied with the product and happy with my purchase. I will always be frustrated at things. What musician isn't?
