The thing with RB is this. Yes it does things somewhat different than most other DAW packages. Some of that is due to the background of it coming from Powertracks. Which to me was a very similar package to what cakewalk was 15 years ago. While PT and RB have not been developed at the same rate as say a sonar or Reaper it is still very potent when utilized properly. Yes it should have the fancy tools the others do. But not one of the other products have the BiaB engine backing up a simple functional DAW.

Sure you can add the BiaB plugin to Reaper or Studio one and generate tracks but then the process moves on. With RB you can generate tracks and listen generate again, select a section and regen until you get what you want. Any section or the whole track or the whole song.

People say that you can’t comp vocal tracks WRONG! You can. You can’t use third party plugins WRONG! You can.

It simple does a very solid job. Yes it needs some refinements however it gets work done! Simply and with a flair. RTs, RD,s, loops, midi, all works great.

If you like the workflow elsewhere great then no worries. If you want to create in BiaB and move to multitrack recording and still have BiaB tools at your fingertips then you can right there in RB just open the .sgu file there and go to work.
