Wendy,

I often do something very similar.

When I'm first looking for song inspiration I regularly use many of BIAB's midi-based procedures such as styles, chord progrssion of style demos, melodist, soloist, etc. One of the really big advantages for me is that midi generates almost instantaneously and this is very useful when I'm fine tuning a chord progression (especially when the changed chord occurs well into the song).

Once I have my song's building blocks in place, I then move on to Realtracks. Sometimes I start with a style containing RTs and sometimes I simply add RTs track-by-track.

BIAB was sophisticated, highly developed midi-based backing software before Realtracks were invented and, as a result, there are many midi-based song creation tools that I find invaluable in building a song.

All the best for 2018!
Noel
