what rob said seconded.

as ive said before i really think that pg need to post a table of feature differences between bb and rb.

re volume automation i'll be totally frank.
ive found it too 'fiddly' no matter which daw i try.
drives me bonkers putting all the points in and mucking around.
for someone like myself with vision problems...tho' improved now due to some brilliant eye docs vol auto is a pita.
i can never get it the way i want and end up often doing things manually. eg if a vocal note or section is too high or low i have to drill down into the waveform and do editing.

if one wants to understand rb think of a marriage one often sees between big film stars. some marriages have lasted decades while others a few months.
same with rb...some people walk away after a 'look see' and others persist with rb.
lmao...why my wife persists with me i have no idea.
she deserves a zillion gold medals.

thus to realise the potential of rb ya gotta persist as it can be exacting but also very exciting when ya delve into it.
but what isnt in life ?
ive found all music apps/daws have their idiosyncracies.
just gotta dive right in and get to it.
bottom line is songs are loads of work no matter what one uses.

happiness.
