Overdubbing

This chapter explains how you can record additional performances on other tracks while you listen to the previously-recorded tracks.

About overdubbing

“Overdubbing” is the process of recording additional performances on other tracks while you monitor the playback of previously-recorded tracks.

The diagram below shows the signal flow when you play back tracks 1–4 and overdub track 5. In this example, the signal that is input from [MIC/LINE INPUT] jack 1 is routed through recorder track 5 and sent to track channel 5. This signal is then sent to the stereo bus, mixed with the play- back sound of track channels 1–4, and output from the [STEREO OUT] jacks and the [MONITOR OUT] jacks / [PHONES] jack.
