Overdubbing (Layered Recordings)
Layering recording over an existing audio file is called "overdubbing." Using the
Overdubbing function enables you to add a recording [B] of a chorus and/or a guitar
solo to an existing audio file [A] that contains only vocal and rhythm guitar
performances to create a combined audio file [A+B].

Preparing for overdubbing
The following inputs and outputs are available for overdubbing:
Input: Built-in microphones, or MIC/LINE IN (external input) jack
Output: Headphones jack (Listen to audio playback only through the headphones
so that the playback sound will not be recorded again.)
Original audio files that you wish to use for overdubbing must be in an audio format
supported by the PR7 (except MP3: 64kbps/32kbps).
