This is my last time around.

This WAS NOT Easy Record.

How I recorded,"How deep is your love", from Saturday Night Fever. Bebop sent this song out to all on the lista while back.

1-I purchased the sheet music--Melody line with chords, and right and left hand for piano.
2-After deciding what measure I wanted to start in, I step timed the melody, with all the repeats.
3-I step timed the bass line from the left hand of the piano part.
4-If there were any notes in the right hand of the piano part beside the melody, I step timed them to a different track with a different instrument. Sometimes if there was enough happening I step time a third track,with a different instrument.
5-If there were any notes other than the bass line in the left hand of the piano part, I step timed them to a different track with a different instrument.

With the control and chord track I had a 8 tracks. When the piano player reads and plays the music as it is written, it sounds somewhat like the orgi. recording. The bass line was written for the song, and so are the extra little fill-ins.

Now I have have 8 tracks recorded. I displayed my ability to read music, and my knowledge of the keyboard. I did not play ONE NOTE LIVE. This is not wrong, I was creating, I was getting the feel of the song.
I think for ME, I will enclude
"How I Did It" if it's not easy record in the future.
