The following is a hypothetical step-by-step example of the process of
recording a typical pop style arrangement. Note that this is not intended
to be a tutorial, but rather an overview to illustrate how the features and
functions provided with the Montego II Home Studio work together in the
recording process.

RUMS
First I’ll lay down the drums. This will give me a groove to play my other
tracks against. I’ll create this as a MIDI track and take advantage of one of
the 15 built in GS drum kits in the Cancun board.
Rather than play the part, I can load one of the 50 MIDI drum templates
included with the system. Then I’ll set the drum set to the big rock kit.
I’ll copy and paste the tracks on the end to make the part longer. Now I
have a complete drum track.

Next, I’ll put down a bass line. I’d like a real fat sounding electric bass
guitar so I’ll run the Bank Downloader application and download an
electric bass patch included in the instrument library.
I’ve got a MIDI keyboard connected to the Montego II so I’ll play the
patch from the keyboard and record it on a second track. Since I’m a lousy
keyboard player I can go back and fix the bad notes using the piano roll
window. This window displays all the notes in my track. Here I can add,
delete and change notes easily with the mouse.

IANO
Now I’ll add a simple piano part. Again, I’m not a very good keyboard
player so this time I’ll slow the tempo down to a crawl and record the part
at the slower tempo. When I’m done I’ll crank the tempo back up.
After restoring the tempo I noticed that my rhythm playing was off a bit. I
can fix this by highlighting the track and applying the Quantize
Transform. This will clean up the rhythms by moving the notes onto the
divisions of the beat.
