I can get the basic tracks generated, but I don't WANT BIAB effects or panning. I want my OWN, out of a list of 1,000 VSTS I have. I maybe use 40 VSTS on 10 drum channels alone.
This just shows me how far I have to go.
10 drum channels? I struggle with 7 channels
total in my songs !
And VSTs? If I happen to have any (that came bundled with BiaB or S1), I wouldn't know how to use them.

The journey will be a lot of fun though. We all have lots to learn.
Otherwise it would get boring real fast.
/FWIW, we usually pre-mix drums down to 6-8 channels here, but 10 does not seem excessive. /
40 FX on 10 tracks seems a bit much, considering sub-mixes allow sharing some FX, but I am not criticizing anyone. Do what works.
Most important; have fun, learn as you go. We all did that.
Do it at your own speed.
I would also suggest learning about VSTs, they can make a huge difference.
