Q: When you begin recording a song, which instrument do you generally start with as the reference (ex. The Melody of a guitar letting you figure out the rhythm of the drums) or do you just have everything in your head before hand?
A: vocal for reference, but i actually do temp drums/bass/chords first, and then put the temp vocal over that, then delete the temp insts. that way i have the vocal in there when i am building the song
