Great Stuff Well Done!

[tafka]

Thanks so much everyone.
Yes Dade, I used the built-in mic but I'm embarrassed to say I didn't keep track of FX. Usually I record dry then bounce often using For Nylon but I have a User setting that is not so extreme.  I also use Voc EQ, Only Limit and Jinglemix (Under LN) to get separation during the various bounces.

Sorry, I'm still pretty random. Hopefully I'll settle on the perfect process and FX for me but there are so many choices to experiment with!!.
Mainly I'm just trying to learn to keep tracks out of each others way, first by panning and then by EQ settings in the various patches during bounces.
My process, if any, is often:
1. A "Scratch" vox with drums on to set the format and tempo. (T1v1)
2. Rhythm instrument (T3V1)
3. Bass (T4v1)
4. final lead Vox (T1v2) then move to V1 over the scratch track.
5. lead instrument (T2V1)
That gives me the 4 tracks all on v1's.
6.Turn off Vox and bounce the instrument mix with some low volume drums  and FX but keep them panned more than you would think. (T3/4 V8)
7.Add harmony vox to the spare track and rebalance the mix.
8.Bounce the Vox with the bass track or an added track and a second,low volume drum, sequence.(T1/2 V8) (I still do the drums real time as programming them still seems confusing and laborious)
9.Pan and Bounce or master the instruments with the vox (T1/2v7)
10.Add any needed touch-up tracks.(harp, piano, other harmonies. etc)
I'd be delighted if anyone saw an obvious flaw to this sequence and wanted to comment. I still feel like a rank newbie.

A very fine production - Especially for only 6 hours. It takes me 6 hours to go from "thinking" to "doing" 

I was getting a mix of Clapton and Costello if that's possible - Thought it sounded great!!
