Re: Got the MBOX 2 hooked up last night...

The trick to this one was improvising vocally what I wanted to score musically. I can explain it best by telling you the order of tracks made
 
TRACK 1: PERCUSSION = record my voice making a high hat sound (as a click track) chhh ch-ch ...chhhh ch-ch...etc
TRACK 2 = VOCAL = sing the tune from elementary school
TRACK 3 = improvisationally sing what I think a trombone part ought to sound like
TRACK 4 = improvisationally  sing what I think a counterpoint clarinet ought to sound like (then I realized it was new orleans jazzy)
TRACK 5 = MIDI trombone  = click on the virtual piano keys to encode what I was singing for the trombone (track 3) into notes
TRACK 6 = MIDI clarinet = same thing as track 5 but I struggled to turn track 4 into something useable. ... then I made it it up and scored two clarinets in the same track
 
When I mixed it down I muted tracks 3 and 4.
