At the risk of starting yet another argument I would not put RB in the same league as Cakewalk by BandLab which is also free. I tried RB and to get a workflow like I had in Sonar, Reaper or any of the other DAWs I have used. I found RB laking in functionality. Things like the channel strips in Cakewalk or all the plugins that come with Reaper.

Sorry RB loses for me in the DAWs stakes.

And I totally agree with you. No question. But the OP was looking for a reasonably good DAW for free. He already has RB.

I don't consider RB to be a full featured DAW but it does a good job if you're short of money for one of the big names.

Yeah... I've been a Cakewalk user and still am.... Sonar X1. Love it. But.... I'm also seeing where lots of people are having issues with BLCW. I was considering the jump but decided to stay with my "works perfectly" X1.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
