Yes.  Know and have.  Midge Ure said in an interview about 
the piece that Kate and Del came to cut the vocal and 
let no one in the studio while doing it.  That's a more 
common practice than one might suspect as cutting vocals 
requires a lot of concentration and usually eye contact 
between the engineer and vocalist.  It is also handy to 
be able to see the meters.  Midge Ure referred to her 
as a "near genius" and was complementary of her in 
general.  Most of the article talked about the Atari 
and German-made 24-track sequencer software.  
Old stuff now but we still use one.
