I basically do the same as Noel96 when I create backing tracks, though I don't create original stuff yet, so no need for melodies. I also play around with strings and brass and use F5 to bring in solos at various points. The only other thing I do is prior to building something I pick a bunch of existing styles and have a listen to see if something gels.
