je t'aime rb.

the key to rb is to dig into it and its unique features. does it have 'quirks' ? sure.
but so do many music apps.
there are many of us rb users that grew up on pg powertracks like myself...so...rb learning cycle is lessened.
imho Rob Helms (also a rb user user) said it best
ie its lack of 'familiarity' that keeps some away from rb.

without bias i can say awhile back i tried various demoes of various daws but came back to rb
time and again even though there are some very nice ones out there.

frankly for me after trying all those daws the ones that still crank me up are...

1..reaper version 2 which ived used with rb and bb for years and with powertracks before that.
ie www.reaper.fm still offers version 2 i believe.
and..
2..mtstudio by bremmers....
https://www.multitrackstudio.com/
if you doubt me re mtstudio heres the forum where its fans hang out.
https://www.multitrackstudio.com/forum/
as you can see...tons of posts on the mts forum.

you might ask why those two particularly ?
answer is simple...as a tech i like them for...
1..they are both small lightweight exe's.
2..as an ex programmer in my early days years ago i like apps that do a lot with few computer resources needed.
3..both are very 'nimble' and will even run on the most clunky pc's

at the same time tho' neither offer auto accompany of course. so of course its understandeable that rb is a larger exe.

and there you have it.
what i find testing lots of daws these days is as we used to say in the poor london uk area where i grew up...lol.. 'lots of flash'.
whereas rb isnt flashy but offers one heck of a lot
of features. sometimes the beauty of an ugly duckling is underneath...
haveing said above there are various features i would like in rb.

have a great merry xmas and a fab 2025 Billy.
