Without any doubt BIAB is invaluable tool for creating songs.

I'm gonna ride two ideas mentioned above.

One "Auditioning" styles is extremely important to me. Prior
to making a song. See(hear) whats available. I've only been
with the BIAB parts for couple of years, but still learning about
"new" finds in the style auditioning.

Listening to other folks music and the songs they create is a second
tool mentioned. The ingenuity of how the styles are used, the tracks
and how the are used is invaluable. The Mix, levels, sounds each
person uses with their music.

Another tool albeit not quite as nifty is going onto YouTube and searching
for similar songs to what your ideas are. Then go back to BIAB auditioning
and find this style.

This all takes bit of time, but is well worth the efforts.

Good Luck, and by all means enjoy these challenges.
