Zero, why do you keep harping on this. If you do not want to use RB don't, use cubase! Pg is not going to scrap the RB project just for you, or a handfull of others that do not want to use it. BiaB is what they intended it to be, auto accompaniment. RB is a sequencer, just like Cubase, or Sonar with a slightly different leaning. PG went to a lot of hard work to bridge the gap between Powertracks and BiaB, with RB. The HAVE a stinking Sequencer in Powertracks!! Others wanted to be able to generate RTs and RDs in the sequencer, Add VSTi power to the mix and use other tools, so they built RB.

If you want to use other programs other than PG products, good use them, but do not blame PG for the fact it does not do what you want. Kent gave a solution, if you do not want to learn RB drag to cubase, and all you did was restate the gripe.

a select few people keep complaining that they want BiaB to act like a combination or BiaB and a full sequencer. HELLLOOOOO that is exactly what RB is, a marriage of Powertracks and BiaB. If you are not willing to learn RB then you have no place to complain. 99% of it is not different from Cubase. Just get familiar with it, all the time wasted complaining you could have learned it by now. You say you don't get the need for RB, what? The need was as the users requested, a crossover as mentioned above.

PG is not here to make products that lead to sales for other DAW makers. they are in business to sell PG products. As far as jumping ship from Cubase to RB, well that is exactly what they want you to do, don't kid yourself this is BUSINESS plain and simple. They are here to promote their marketing plan, and their products, not make it easy for you to use other products. The fact that they added drop and drag says volumes about how much they care about their customers. They could have made it work only with their products, but they were fair about it, knowing some haved other products for years and RB is a new product, still young in development. But let's be real, selling BiaB, PTPA, and RB is formost on their minds. Heck the best part of it all is that RB comes free bundled with BiaB!!!!!!!
