Odd man out I guess - for which there is ample precedent:) I did my first recording in a studio in the mid sixties, had a Teac sound on sound in the 70’s, went thru Tascam 4/8 tracks in the 90’s and had a VF160 Fostex when we left our band in 2003 and quit playing and recording for years.

I switched from the Windows world (thankfully) to a Mac in 2011. It came with GarageBand which seemed interesting and about the same time I heard about BiaB. In short order I purchased my current DAW Logic Pro ... $199 for life, all upgrades free, zillions of amp sims, effects and sounds and I have never looked back. For me Logic seemed easy to learn and easy to use (at my level smile ). I can’t imagine working again w/o the ability to revert to earlier auto saves, w/o volume lanes, w/o fx automation lanes, w/o locking a track to a groove track, w/o quickly doubling a RD snare, w/o quickly changing an RT note for a better segue, w/o loading 6-8 regenerated RT tracks to comp one that better works with the project much more. And like BiaB I only use a small fraction of its capabilities.

In no way is it my intention to disparage the use of hardware...just this old phart’s perspective.
