AG: this was only the second recording made on my new Roland VS-2480 Digital Recorder.

I used sixteen tracks and multi-tracked instruments in the order shown below, with vocals being added last. Yes, the drums did go on as last instrument using finger pads (five tracks – bass, snare, toms, cymbals, hi-hat) and all the instruments were recorded prior to that using the internal metronome.

Vocals are a mixture of dry and wet on two different tracks. It was then mixed down to two-track stereo after applying delay and microphone modelling effects patches from the VS-2480.
