re RB....my reply.

1..in the spirit of being unbiased...every year
i check out lots of music apps and daws.
ive done this recently. but...i still get dragged back
to rb because i would miss some feature(s) or other that
rb provides. what i found recently was some fabulous daws
with tons of great features. but...missing features i
have in rb.

2..in many respects rb will reward the user that (like bb)
is willing to 'dig into' its vast number of features.
and let me say imho the biggest catch 22 for daw developers
or any software engineering group is that, in order to
satisfy users often they put soo many features into a app
there is no getting round the fact that this means learning
cycles for new users.
(i would like a buck for every time i saw this unsolveable
problem when i worked in tech.)
in summary pg is in this catch 22 situation like any developer.
so like bb... rb has a huge number of deep features.
and some new nice features have been added like comping
i use for my vocals and chords displayed in the tracks view
timeline and other aspects.

3..some people view rb as an 'ugly duckling' on the surface.
however like a lot of things in life there is often beauty underneath.
once again ya gotta be willing to delve. ive developed
various rb tricks over the years also re workflow.

4..re training resources. there are various faq's and vids on the
pg site plus you tube and independent tips done by users etc etc.
but...in the end...nothing beats getting 'down and dirty'
with any app. also notice in rb there is a tips feature
plus of course the manual.

5..in the pg tips forum ive posted various tips for rb.
includeing free fx plugins that i feel rival very expensive
outboard units i once used in commercial studios imho.

all the best and remember the old gold miners adage...
'theres gold in those hills...but to get to it...its work'...lol.

happiness.
