Reply to Using Traktor as your DAW

Hey All,
I am just wondering if anyone uses Traktor as a DAW. What I mean by that is, now with the remix sets all setup, you go in make your stems and samples in a different software, and then play and record your track using a controller like the F1. One of my friends is currently doing that with mashups/remixes (which i feel is what it is intended for), but I'm just wondering what the drawbacks would be making an original production like this. And before I get answers like "you can't shape your individual sounds", we are talking all that is setup. So you have spent the time making a drum track and synths, they are complete, you are just using traktor to layout your work. Let me know what you believe.

Thanks,
PHader
