FirstBassman, I regret even posting, but in the spirit of clarity the following was your post:

No one here yet has mentioned the obvious.

RB is a DAW or sequencer, whichever you want to call it.

If you already own and use another sequencer such as Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase or Sonar, etc. than you don't need Real Band at all.

Personally, I use Acoustica's Mixcraft:

"http://www.acoustica.com/mixcraft/"

This was your exact post, and you were correct that it is a DAW, and if someone is currently using another DAW they might not need it. That is a correct and fair statement. The only thing i was pointing out is that after that you mentioned you use Mixcraft, again not a bad thing others mention they use Sonar, or Cubase, that is fine, but then you added a Link to a competitive product, it is your choice to do so, all i did was point out that in my opinion that is not cool, as this site is for the promotion, and support of PG music product, not mixcraft, Sonar, or Cubase, or any other product for that matter.

I was not trying to call you out or make you feel badly, just point out the facts. I am sure that Sonar, or Cubase, or Mixcraft would not appriciate folks going on and registering on their site and linking posts to their competitors products. The fact it was not a signature is neither here nor there, it was at the bottom of the post where signatures are usually placed and it appeared to be one.

Again i was pointing out the etiquitte of the situation as the forum rules state: 9.All of the forums except for the Off Topic forum are for discussions of PG Music products only. The Off Topic forum is used for MUSIC-RELATED discussions that aren't about PG Music products. Please keep all your posts as constructive as possible.

I would imagine what they mean by non PG could be construed in many ways, but most likely means discussion of songs, artist, VST, and Dx instruments, hardware, Etc. I doubt they really want links to competitors, but most likely turn a blind eye to it in favor of the big picture.

Still I most likey should have said nothing, and so for that i applogize if I offended in any way.

One other thing i would like to say is that From the comments of the OP he was really asking what benefit RB would be to someone who was using BiaB to finish a song he started in Finale, and then built and mixed to a wave in BiaB. He was not asking if RB was better than any other DAW he had, and should he switch. Anyway peace and appologies to you my music brother! Rob
