This is my "Hello, Goodbye" song recorded as an audio track. Yes, I know, The Beatles had the same title but then so did 1/2 a dozen other artists including Michael Smith, Van Hunt, Madonna.
This is the first time I'm actually performing a song on drums, first time singing a song (had to develop something approximating "singing" fast), first time recording and mixing a song.
Kato and I performed the drum and guitar track live and recorded that as one track. The bass and vocal tracks were recorded separately. The instrumentals took about 2.5 hours to write and record. The vocal track took me all of this Wednesday afternoon. It was fun to perform together but as I didn't have a multi-channel audio card, we couldn't keep the drum and guitar tracks separate for a better down-mix to stereo. This resulted in the guitar being a little weak, and if I had bothered to check the levels, that could have been better but, oh well, it's not too bad as is!

Thanks SO MUCH to my friend Kato for the guitar and bass parts, he's awesome!
Actual video, with real people, to follow (probably next month or so).
