Rayc.

let me say i wish everyone here only the very very best. and enjoyment of their music creation journey.

i think it fair to say we both agree that reaps is a fab daw//tool. right ?

where we might differ is realband (rb). fair ?

let me just mention one very 'tiny' feature of many why i like rb.
(lets remember rb is free.)

lets consider midi trak editing and moving small or large numbers of midi bars around.

i think it fair to say various people would use a piano roll or notation feature in a daw. fair ?
(i'm lousy at notation..lol.) and i think it fair to say many musos might find these features in a daw "fiddly'. certainly in my case and musos ive talked to in the past. fair ?

now rb (like powertraks) has a feature called 'BARS VIEW". which biab doesnt have,...
(which is why i posted a 'wish' re biab for this feature recently.)

now why ages ago did pg devs implement this feature ?
i dunno , all i know is i can do a bunch of neat things with it re midi bars, and save me fiddling with other options. i find it very useful.
am i being fair ?

there are many cute little features like this sprinkled through rb. and thus if someone doesnt read the rb manual or dismisses rb easily for whatever reason (maybe cos its free) or cos they read something on the net somewhere re rb thats a pity imho.
this one feature alone has saved me time over the years.

why do i defend rb , even if it doesnt have the 'fancy graphics' of other daws ?
cos it has many neat features like the example cited.
fair ?

please note YES i have probs with rb occasionally , hence i post a wish in the rb wishlist.
i ponder re people knocking rb have they gone thru the rb manual and given it a 'fair shake'.
i too found it a tad 'idiosyncratic' sometimes when i started with rb...but i persevered and found lots of neat stuff.

i hope you find above fair comment.

i defend rb only cos i'm worried pg might drop it, and thus i lose interesting features that help me in a song.

best//happiness.
