Step 3: Overdubbing
Overdubbing allows you to layer multiple performances. This way, you can
record additional tracks, as you listen to the previously recorded tracks play back.
In this example, record your mic or keyboard on a new track while listening to the
guitar performance that you recorded in the preceding steps.
