Hey, what can I say? You're just too generous with your complements!
The trick is to remember what recording was like on tape, back in the four-track days with an old mixer and limited effects - all of a sudden Realband is like all your dreams have come true. In truth, Realband and Powertracks are brilliant and what we keep asking for are just minor improvements to an already great package. Yes, there are a few niggles, but show me some software which is free of any.
As to the future, I think that if PG want a mass market DAW, then they should drop the auto-accompaniment tag which puts-off a lot of musicians and just give Powertracks the ability to generate realtracks. A virtual room of session musicians wouldn't be seen as cheating and Powertracks is the equal of any DAW I've ever used as far as tracking and editing is concerned. TBH, I now mix in Harrison Mixbus 10 Pro and just bring the stems over from PT/RB. Anyway, I see lots changing this year as Ai develops further, so let's wait and see....
