Paul.

even tho i'm a reaps user i also like rb a lot.
also rb has features not provided by bb or the bb plugin or reaps.

its a very underestimated daw imho and fyi ive just come off a few weeks checking out daws which i do every year.

although i found some very nice daws i keep on getting dragged back to rb because of its unique features others dont have.
in fact as rb has been improved recently now i'm pretty close to not needing reaps. thus i can do in rb which ive always wanted ie...work in ONE music app rather than flitting tween various music apps which drives me nuts and thus wasting time.

fyi...in another thread you mentioned useing plugins.
please check out the tips forum re plugins in rb.
the ones i posted are great plus they are free.

dont underestimate them. some emulate outboard units i once used in commercial studios that cost large bucks.
the advantage of them also being that like the pg dx plugins
(which i think are also underestimated..used in my sig songs...)
many arent big resource hogs.

in summary rb plus the plugins i listed i'm sure martin
and the beatwells would have done hits with.
(being a londoner i know a likkle bit about the era...it was amazeing the talent at that time in wringing out hit songs from way less gear capabilities than i have today in my studio with 256 rb tracks....often just a few tracks..).

happiness.
