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/AUX OUT jacks and the MONITOR OUT jacks /
PHONES jack.
