Layering Your Performance with a Song from a CF Card
(Overdubbing)
While playing back a previously recorded performance from
a CF card, you can layer—or "overdub"—another vocal or
instrumental performance and record the combined result to
a new track.
Since you can continue overdubbing parts, you can create a
song by adding elements one at a time. For example, you can
start with drums, then add bass, and then a vocal, and so on.
The CF card will contain the following.
