And Reaper is only like $60 with an unlimited free trial. Really GREAT DAW software is available at no cost! Why spend your limited learning time with a limited tool when far better tools are available for free and are as easy or easier to learn? Nothing beats BIAB for creating real tracks (yet)! But I hope they focus all new development on improving and fixing its core functionality and not on trying to become a DAW.
