Our songs usually start from a few people jamming until an idea hits.
Then we record the rough tracks in RB during the jam via a mixer to 18i20 to RB (or even PT).

Once we have that we just start flushing out ideas, including adding RTs/RDs .. which is as fun as the jam sessions.

Occasionally I'll just do one from scratch on my own the same way; get an idea, get the idea down and flush it out in RB.
That's when I have the most fun.
Just adding tracks from my guitars or bass or synths/softsynths along with RT/RDs ... there is only one rule.
Everything starts with a click track so any method we want to use to add tracks is easy. That few seconds at the beginning makes everything afterwards so much easier.

If I am stuck for ideas I'll turn to BiaB and tinker, but usually there is already a concept to start with.

Example: no BiaB, just RTs (mostly bass), RDs, generated acoustic intro .. and me tinkering with strat, keys and a vocal idea (forgive the couple 'French' words in there). Just an idea I've been tinkering with lately.
