my reply....

(ps...love aussieland...this pomme always wanted to live there.)

i get what your saying...i'm a musician too.
(done over 100 songs and more with pg products....some are in my sig.)
but sometimes one needs to use a combination of tools to achieve what one wants done.

for example i use bb for certain things, rb for certain things and reaper for certain things.
and sometimes i go (eg when i started useing rb)....
'wait a minute i can do xyz'....'wow'.

one issue for many musicians is the use of technology in doing their music.
many have said to me...
'i'm a muso and dont want to futz around with computers and windows or macs/mac os whatever to do what i want'.
i get it..i know it can be frustrating at times...yes...even for us techs.
so my reply is the same...viz..
'the more one can understand the technology, the more one will get out of it'. its just the way things are.
in summary doing songs and useing technology can be both exacting
and exciting.

thus one never knows what one can get out of a music application or technology untill one tries it.
when i first tried Realband years back, initially i found it a slog.
but...once i persevered with rb i started to go...
'wow i can do xyz...are you kidding me !!'
and got excited the more i explored it.
same when i started useing reaper and biab yonks ago.

RB user Rob Helms made a excellent point on these forums, he used the word 'familiarity' re rb for example.
sooo....one never knows...you might find exciting uses for rb as you get familiar with it. frankly i wish i could use rb on the new mac mini m4 platform.
it might push me over to the dark side...lol.

wishing you the best...and best to aussie too.

happiness.
