I have never been a real user of RB. I’ve used it to do some Multiriffs but that is about it. I thought why would I use this when I have Platinum which is far more intuitive and easy.

Post Platinum I went onto Reaper then got Cakewalk by BandLab. I am reasonably proficient with either. I prefer Cakewalk for MIDI editing and Reaper for mixing and “mastering” mainly because of the plugins I have.

Both Reaper and Cakewalk come with enough plugins to get the job done. Cakewalk is a really good price US$0.00 (free) and Reaper is $60. Either is well worth the price. I think Cakewalk is easier for a beginner but Cakewalk is only available on a 64bit Windows machine.

If you can use RB at all I reckon you’ll find almost any other DAW a snap to get used to. There are many really good tools and methodologies available in most DAWs. Both Reaper and Cakewalk have vast amounts of tutorials on line.

So to go to a DAW is a no brainer IMHO.
