Recording/playing back a performance
Recording an additional performance while
listening to an existing performance
—Overdubbing
The process of listening to a previously recorded performance while you record
additional material on another audio track is called overdubbing. If you record
drums, bass guitar, keyboard, guitar, and vocal parts on separate audio tracks, you
can then adjust the volume balance between instruments and set the left/right
position (pan).

Select the audio track to record

1. For the audio track that you wish to record, press [STATUS] to get it to blink in
red.
With these settings, you are ready to record while listening to the performances of
the audio tracks you selected for playback.

Recording while you listen to the playback

Record using the same procedure as in "Recording a performance" (p. 119).
If you wish to adjust the volume of the audio tracks that are playing, adjust the
appropriate AUDIO TRACK fader.
At this time, the audio track selected as the recording destination will record only the
sounds you are playing, and will not record the sound of the audio tracks that are
playing back.
Overdubbing tip
When you record new material while listening to a recorded performance, your
playing may tend to be buried in the existing performances, making it difficult for
you to play. In such cases, you can slightly lower the faders of the audio tracks that
are playing, or pan the playback tracks to the left (or right) and your own new
performance to the right (or left), to make it easier to distinguish your own playing.
