OP Jim Fogle Veteran Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 10,777 Winston Salem, NC USA	Why do you need a DAW when you have Band-in-a-Box? What do you do in your DAW that you don't or can't do in Band-in-a-Box? For example I use Cakewalk by Bandlab to automate multiple functions at a time on an audio or midi track. Cakewalk can simultaneously automate playback of volume, pan and mute on an audio track. At the same time I can automate playback of volume, pan, mute, reverb, chorus and expression on a midi track. Last edited by Jim Fogle; 09/04/22 08:27 AM.
