IT IS NOT THE TOOL, IT IS THE PERSON USING THE TOOL.

I yelled that because it is the truth. It really doesn't matter what your tools are but the experience behind the person using it. Many tools are job specific while others have a few "side" functions. Yes a screwdriver can be a hammer for small nails, or an awe, or a small pry bar but they are not the optimum tool for those jobs. However they may get the job done.

All powerful pieces of software have learning curves. BiaB, any DAW, Scaler, etc have huge learning curves IF you want to dig deep into the program.

Any workflow is great IF it works for you. Charlie, RHarv, Matt, Joanne, and others have dug deep into BiaB and/or RB; thanx GOD they are willing to share their information. I use BiaB as a scratch pad figuring out chord progressions and styles. Sometimes I will use either the Melodist or the Soloist to give me some ideas for leads. I do all of my heavy work in my DAW, Studio One Pro 5.5 which I have dug deeply into. I have no desire to dig deeply into BiaB or RB as I can do many if not all of those things Charlie and others have listed quicker and easier in my DAW. Why? Because I know my DAW as you know your tools. This workflow works for me and may not for others.

As I stated it is the tool user and not the tool.

I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.
