Noel - I have yet to use RB - but I now have the 2010 version so maybe I'll get brave .
I'll spend a coffee or two reading the manual about text markers.



Ian. I didn't know you weren't using RB. If you have used PTW then RB is almost the same with exceptions, which are easy to figure out just by looking at the screen. Using RB is as simple as using BIAB. In fact, I've almost quit using BIAB for anythig other than original creation. Sometimes I use just RB since I can create the song from scratch there too. But using BIAB is really easier. You get everything lined out like you want it in BIAB, save it, then open it in RB to edit until satisfied.

If you are using Sonar then it's going to be like taking a step down in terms of power useage. There is no doubt that Sonar is tops for recording, but only if you are using it to record entire groups with outboard needs. If the only recordings you do are just you and your guitar then RB is the ideal. Much much simpler to use. I can produce anything as good sounding as Sonar can. The reason? It's just editing software like PTW or RB. It's the hardware that makes the difference in quality sound when you made a finished song. Sonar's advatage is it can control outboard equipment as well as it handles VST/VSTi'S better than RB or PTW. But not by much.

Just a thought I thought I'd pass onto you.
