. Oddly, only two comments throughout this thread mention improvements to the BIAB/RB end product, audio files and they're irrelevant to the final audio file quality.
. The same deficiencies all DAW's from Audacity to Pro-Tools HDX have interfacing with BIAB/RB are the same.
. BIAB/RB audio files work with every DAW regardless of it's commercial level and OS Platform.
. Forum comments and ideals posted here are platform, OS, hardware and workflow related and not toward audio file quality.
. If any forum member ever gets the opportunity to have an original work or cover professionally and commercially published, the audio file quality will matter, not the platform, OS,hardware or workflow used to create it.
. BIAB/RB audio files are of high enough quality to be used in commercial releases or included in productions done in top commercial studios by the world's top mixers.

Bobby Owsinski, recognized as one of the world's top and most in demand mixing engineers, is also one of the best selling authors of music industry topic books. His books are used in colleges as textbooks and references around the world. I have a copy of his 2014, third edition The Mixing Engineers Handbook.

In the book, Mr. Owsinski interviews and quotes tips, quips, and complaints from 36 other world class, top rated mixing engineers about their mixing techniques, tricks and obstacles. Notable mixers such as Andrew Scheps, Ken Scott, Dave Pensado are interviewed and he's included mixing pros that specialize in nearly every genre from rap to orchestration.

100% of these professional mix engineers discuss issues with the quality and quantity of the audio files they receive from clients and zero say anything at all about the platform, OS, workflow or hardware the files are recorded on... Just sayin'...
