This simplest thing to do, once you've got the tracks in your DAW, is to adjust the tracks so there's only one instrument playing lead at a time.

To help with that, I'll generally try to have three tracks each for the guitar and piano:

  • Fills
  • Simple playing
  • Held chords

That way, I can bring in an alternate track if I don't want the instrument to drop out entirely, but want it to play more simply so it's out of the way.

What's often most effective is to drop out the other instrument entirely at that point, but it's nice to have options.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
