.....................
I am not trying to sell Scaler (although it might sound like that

). And I also am not trying to bad mouth BIAB. I still use both these tools, for the inspiration they provide.
In recent times, I have been able to bring more of me into the creative process by limiting my BIAB content and employing alternate tools, including Scaler and all the virtual instruments provided by Kontakt along with aids to write my own music. Its a long term process... but I am making progress.
Hope that clarifies my workflow strategy.
Dan, your workflow isn't that much different from mine!
Like I said I use Scaler to help me with chords and chord progressions that I would not have thought of using BiaB alone. I transfer those chords and/or progressions into BiaB.
I also use MIDI loops to augment and/or replace parts of or enter BiaB tracks. I also use arpeggiators, soft synths, etc, and my own creativity to add to or modify BiaB MIDI tracks.
It is a long term learning process, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
