Each composer seems to have his preferred workflow, starting either with a DAW or a notation program. I fear my workflow is going to be even more complicate.
1. Compose in a DAW with all the available sounds. Make the most realistic-sounding piece without thinking to what you would do with real instruments. Create a piece for your virtual orchestra.
2. When the piece sounds great, export a Music XML file and load it into a notation program. Transcribe the piece you composed into an actual score, something real musicians would be able to play.
3. When the score looks great and ready for publishing, export it to a DAW, and make it a great sounding piece, exactly as you would do by making a mock-up of a classic piece.
An incredibly long work. But it seems technology is not meant to help us do it faster.
