it all depends on what you are used to. i learnt BIAB from floppies and then used PT to finish midi only backing tracks. in those days live we playted with midi files on a yamaha file player.

now its mp3s - created in RB. basic tracks worked out in BIAB, taken over to RB, polished, edited, solos added etc. generation time is not an issue - takes seconds on my pc. and maybe if i knew them, other DAWs would be slicker and faster. but I know RB. it does everything i want and recent additions like multiriffs etc are great. ok so i can't use VST3s and chain vst plugins but kv elements plugs that gap.

BIAB is an accompaniment program. that's what i use it for and polish things in RB which is much more transparent - the two programs have always worked together really well. maybe if i wanted something more than backing tracks i'd find RB limited. but i don't. i can't help thinking BIAB is for musicians like me not writers of symphonies.

i don't need any more 'features'. i'll upgrade BIAB to get more RealTracks but i think this is the last year i'll upgrade.

i'm trying to recreate the sound of bands i played in in real life - bass, keyboards and drums with added strings and horns when needed. there must be thousands of BIAB and RB users like me. had i started on something else it would be different but i learnt BIAB and then PT now RB. what would be the point of learning another DAW?
