All the songs below were recorded using an excellent piece of software called Sonar Producer 4. The audio tracks were recorded one at time on the PC using the Yamaha SW1000XG sound card input. Where appropriate, digital Digital effects were then added, and all tracks balanced/mixed. The final mix recorded as a mp3 file.  Midi sounds courtesy of the old but brilliant Yamaha SW1000XG sound card
