Well, my advice is to START with RealBand.

*It is already included in the purchase of Band in a Box.

*RealBand will give you a much better idea of perhaps which features and how to implement them are desirable for you and your workflow, etc. which will put you in a much better place to be able to make intelligent decisions regarding the choice of a different DAW software - or not.

*It is entirely possible to publish world class musics using RealBand and the plugins which come with it.

*Having the RealBand DAW along with the Band in a Box program shipping together as they are, gives you the chance to find out more about what it is that you may not know now concerning these issues. And these forums will prove very helpful as well along those lines.
