The only songs that do not require the "full DAW treatment" are songs that are still in the demo or writing stage.

Once you have a song complete, then I would say, every song needs the full DAW treatment.

I only use BB for writing. Nothing else. I move the song to Real Band after I save it in BB and then I simply open the same file in RB. All tracks are rendered to audio and with no reverb or other fx that I can hear. I want dry tracks.....or as dry as I can get them.

Everything, and I do mean everything, ends up in Sonar for mixing and polishing once it's finished in BB and RB. Everything I write and record gets the SONAR treatment.

Just my 2 cents

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
