My workflow is simple.

1. I used BB as my writing tool. Key, tempo, style, structure.

2. I open the BB file in Real band and add additional tracks that I want but were not in the BB style.

3. I import all the tracks into Sonar X1 and add my live tracks for guitar, keys, mandolin, and whatever else I need plus vocals.

4. All mixing and sweetening and polishing is done in Sonar and exported as a wave.

5. I use Wavepad Music Editor to normalize, trim and and convert the wave file to MP3.

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.
