Overdubbing (Sound-On-Sound)

The SOUND on SOUND enables you to easily overdub on a song that has
already been recorded. During overdubbing, two types of files are cre‐
ated: original material files that contain individual recordings, and a 2‐
mix file that combines the playback sound and additional recordings. The
SOUND on SOUND recognizes the original material files and 2‐mix file
all together as one song file (see "FINALIZE" on page 39).
You can easily burn an audio CD from these overdubbed songs by copying
them from the recorder to your computer, and using the KORG AUDIO
UTILITY software, which you can download from the Korg web site.
You can also create a WAV file for each original material file plus 2‐mix
file by finalizing the overdubbed song. You can edit these WAV files using
waveform editing software on your computer, or load them into a DAW
(see "FINALIZE" on page 39).
About the space required for overdubbing on a memory card
During overdubbing, the SOUND on SOUND stores each original
recording material file that was recorded (see page 47).
If you plan to overdub frequently, you should use a high capacity
memory card. For example, if you make a three‐minute recording, and
then overdub three minutes three times, the space on a memory card
required by these recordings would be approximately 30MB (first
recording), 30MB (first overdubbing), 30MB (second overdubbing),
and 30MB (third overdubbing), totaling approximately 120MB.
