Dave I hear you loud and clear.....if I was a song writer id use the arranger for a first rough, as tsyles really help in that regard,....then from there once I get the song idea on paper I would definitely multitrack & record EACH part of the song from scratch into a DAW so I could get EXACTLY the sound & fx etc,. that I wanted vs just a repetitive style, then bring it to the studio musicians to fine tune it for a master demo, etc,.....hope that makes sense.
