Hi Tobias, Reaper has quite the documentation available for it to! You can find some of it here: http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/Reaper_Documentation
Cheers,
Joe

+1 on Reaper.
I know some prefer to use Realband when working with the Realtracks because of its multiriff function before moving to Reaper. I however generate and import all BIAB wav files to reaper directly and create my own version of multiriffs in Reaper. Once set up in Reaper cutting and splicing Real tracks is much faster than using the multiriffs function in Realband. The process also allows for much more creativity and the development of more originality than is possible just using the multiriff function in Realband.
Reaper also allows you to change and customize its menus to match your workflow. You can create custom skins or download a user created skin some of which are outstanding (Something PGM should consider implementing in BIAB).
Many fans of Reaper and for good reasons as listed in this thread.

I have jBridge. Any other reasons to go with 32bit? The reason I ask is because I don't really know the difference. Is one better than the other? If my systems runs 64, and it does, should I just go with 64? I "think" I'm also concerned with compatibility issues. As in, if I create tracks in 32 bit BIAB or RB are those fully functional in Reaper? If you buy Reaper you can download and use both the 32bit and the 64bit (and what you save in both Reapers can be loaded by both Reapers. In that sense there is no difference between the 32bit and 64bit) Audio-tracks exported from BIAB or RB can be loaded in either Reaper version. I personally almost exclusively use Reaper 32bit on a 64bit PC (because some of the VST effects I use are 32bit only and my projects are still not too memory-intensive to fit into 32bit) There's a learning-curve, as with all software, but Reaper is well-documented so it's actually fairly easy to find out what you need to get something done (and via google and youtube it's hard to get really stuck, so in that regard it's not difficult to use) Reaper can be very powerful, but you won't need to master any of this power before you need it. In that way Reaper is very clever. You can automate almost anything, but you don't need to worry about learning this before you want to do it. So Reaper allows you to work and learn at your own pace, which is really the most productive way to work (in my opinion) Very pleased Reaper-user here  Oh, and stability is rock-solid (unless you try to load VSTs or plugins that are unstable, or perhaps some audio-infrastructure that isn't solid. I use Reaper with a Roland USB-soundcard that provides its own sounddriver infrastructure, so I can't say if all ASIO drivers will work equally good. Also, latency settings can make a difference and so on, I believe it's like that with all DAWs) with no bloat (the download is so small it's almost unbelievable there's a real piece of quality-software in it Other programmers could learn something there!)

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
