What's inside
- 01The full arrangement. From the intro to the last bar, with the tracks named and grouped exactly as I keep them.
- 02Every rack and effect chain. Every device in order and with its settings. Switch one off and hear what it was doing.
- 03All the automation. Filters, sends and volumes, all in place — half the reason the track breathes.
- 04The MIDI for every part. Change the notes and it's yours.
