it does 90% of what I need.

I know that there are "features" in RB that are "unique" to the program, but as a DAW it is weak (to say it gently).

Once I suggested that I would not be against if both programs are re-done (properly) and merged into one, with ALL the features modular. You need them-you add them to the work environment. If not, you "un-click" them and they do not bother you any more. As expected, it was met with skepticism.

Oh well, I still think that merging them is a good idea smile
