I agree with many of the observations above. I was brought up on BIAB and PT and found the PT interface easier to use for editing and polishing so stuck with RB when it came along. Multitrack recording was also dead easy - click and sing! I could see all the tracks at the same time long before BIAB had a tracks window. Maybe with the new features I'll do more in BIAB before I move to RB but all I need to do is recreate the kind of small bands i used to play with so I doubt it.

Extra functionality in RB is welcome - especially vst3.
