You mention a 'Good'DAW, I use Mixcraft 7. After trialing several DAW's this one was more user friendly for me,
I would love to find a musician to work with me but my Bulgarian language skills leaves a lot to be desired and so unfortunatley I must plod on solo.

A good DAW IMHO is any DAW that lets you work easily to accomplish the job. It should support the VST's you use and allow easy use of envelopes for automating the features in the mix.
Ever heard of the internet? I have collaborated with singers, and other musicians literally around the other side of the planet. As long as you both have a DAW and access to the net, you can work. For example, if you simply need a guitar solo in a song, you ask the guitarist to send you a full track starting at the first measure.... it can be silence up to the solo. That makes track alignment simple. I have had people send me just the clipped part they were playing and that is a PITA to line up 100% accurately.
Yep...sometimes BB forces me to have to think creatively to get things done or in some cases, to fall back to plan B and seek a different route.
