I'm finding this thread very interesting and love the fact that no wars have been started.

As you know I use Studio One Pro as my DAW and very rarely use RB. HOWEVER I have always said that if you don't have a favorite DAW then start with RB.

A few messages back Jim listed a number of things that BiaB will do automatically. Many of those things are what I want to control thus I leave BiaB as soon as I can and go to my DAW.

Jim's comments got me thinking what are the primary sound sources people are using and how long do they stay in BiaB? Are those staying in BiaB primary RT users? Are those using primary MIDI leaving BiaB quicker? Or doesn't what you use as sound sources matter? I think that would be interesting data.

I will start. I am primary MIDI. I leave BiaB as a scratch pad, i.e get my chords and style and immediately move to my DAW. There I have total control.

PS - If you think this is off topic just let me know and I will delete this message.

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
