Basic Recording

This chapter explains how to perform overdub recording. Overdub record-
ing is the basis of all multi-track recording. It enables you to record
track-by-track, while listening to previously recorded tracks. In the follow-
ing example, we will use a drum machine, bass, guitar, and vocals. You can,
of course, use any instruments you prefer.
Here's our track list.
