What's with all the multi tracks for each voice/instrument? For example, why have separate tracks for alternate bars for the kick/HH? And why have separate tracks for the backing vocals in the chorus between each two bar phrase? I can't imagine it's for multing purposes as it would sound very irritating to have different timbres etc bouncing between each bar or two bar phrase.
Am I missing something or is this a cunning trap to lure us into overprocessing? 
If you have a view on this, please let me know. If you listen to my mix as well, that's a bonus and thanks very much. (I didn't listen to Mike's example mix before coming up with the telephone voice in the build before the last chorus. All my own work honest!)
Cheers all

I've not mixed this one so I can't say for sure but I downloaded the multitracks and gave it a look. As far as the kick and HH? Meh, I dunno. The parts are slightly different. I think there's more conga(?) in loop one and there seems to be the occasional overlap of parts. People do things a certain way sometimes when recording/printing tracks. Don't overthink it.

As far as the BgVx it does seem like they overlap a bit so having the part split into separate tracks makes sense.

Also, you didn't upload you mix.

Cheers!

Hi Roy

Doh! I'd picked the file to upload but didn't pull the trigger before posting. Sorry, schoolboy error....

Thanks for the feedback about the tracks, I see what you mean about the backing vox and I'll just put the drums and HH down to experience.

Cheers
