some comments.

1...irrespective of age or music genre whether a complex song arrangement or loops ...songs are work...lots of dedication and work.
but maybe im wrong once ai gets further in development.
old yorkshire saying is 'cream and junk flows to the top'.
eg the music biz...thus sadly lots of very talented people never
are recognised...there being so many new songs issued each year.
2...last time i looked still win has over 70 percent market share.
haveing said that i dont want people to think im ultra pro win.
but i invite anyone.here to go on gearspace.com where thousands of studios large and small hang out...and start a thread 'why does anyone here use win over other OSs and watch the fur fly...lol.
ive even seen many comments from peop!e who moved back to win or one or more reasons....start a thread on GS once sgain...
' why did you move back to win'...and watch the fur fly again...lol.
from my hopefully unbiased opinon i feel one key aspect of why win still has a big. market share is developers of music apps/products have got used to win quirks i suspect...also to be fair there have been improvements made to win OS i suspect because some people working on the win os have studios themselves from what ive heard.
3...as to rb and its detractors all i can say is i often wonder how much some people have delved into it....as a reaper user i find rb highly usefull.
imho i dont think it will go away...but features slowly added over time whereas i would like to see a more aggressive development strategy taken with it. just the new comping feature has helped somewhat for me. finally let me say in an attempt to be unbiased i tried another popular daw recently and soon realised i would loose various rb features...imho with a few added upgrades..if done right...rb could be the cream at the top of the daw milk bottle.
4...im not a fan of the plugin strategy based on my history of working in industry trying to interface one companies systems to systems controlled by third parties which we had no control over. from a user perspective it all seems
an easy task 'i want pg plugin to interface with my fav daw '...
but the devils in the details....i invite anyone to take c++ programming courses and try it yourself...THEN youll have a new found respect for what pg are trying to do to keep its users who want such happy...particularly as bb is unique in the world of music apps. as i said...not trivial particularly as the host daw might change at any point.
5..re edm/rap/trap etc etc one criticism i have of pg is i think a few vids would
be very usefull in attracting young users...and show them the power of ptpro/rb/bb. years back i used ptpro to do some rap songs for some young clients who were amazed. im a rocker at heart ...but i keep an open mind re other genres. imho pg provides all the tools to enable one to do any genre one wants. particularly as there is sooo much content including synths and everything else under the sun.


just my 2 bucks or quids worth..lol....fwiw.

happiness.
