I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience (running W10), and I'm thinking of converting to something that claims to be more stable.
Interested in feedback...Thanks!


I’ve said it before each DAW be it RB, Sonar, Reaper, Pro Tools, Ableton, Studio One or any other of the many available have their good points and also areas where they could be improved. When it comes to RB I find I useful for regenerating parts in RealTracks where I want to. I then export to .wav then pull the wav into Reaper where I feel the tools are better for manipulating audio. I tend to use Sonar for editing MIDI because I am more familiar with MIDI in Sonar.

I believe once you learn one DAW it is not so steep to learn another. Most of the rules apply similarly albeit maybe a slightly different way to achieve it. I also found in learning a different DAW I have learnt approaches I can apply in other DAWs. It is a continual learning exercise that’s what makes it fun for me.

Different tools for different jobs. IMHO Tony
