OVERDUBBING
Overdubbing is the process of recording a new track (or new tracks) whiie monitoring previousiy recorded tracks, if you’re oniy
pianning to record a maximum of four tracks, you can go ahead and overdub the second, third and fourth tracks. If you’re planning
to use the "ping-pong” recording technique to record more than four parts, however, record only up to the third track and then move
on to the ping-pong step (see "PING-PONG RECORDING” on page 14).
1. Plug the instrument or other source to be recorded into an
available channel input.
2. Make sure that the REC SELECTOR switches of previ­
ously-recorded tracks are set to OFF so that they aren’t
erased when the new track is recorded.
3. Set up the channel-to-track assignment for the new track.
4. Check your monitor settings to ensure that you can monitor
the previously recorded track(s) as well as the new track to
be recorded (the PHONES SELECT switch should nor-
maiiy be set to MONITOR if you are monitoring via head­
phones).
5. Set the recording level for the new track.
6. You can now “rehearse” the overdub without actually re­
cording by simply playing back the already-recorded
track(s) and playing the new part.
7. Make sure the tape is rewound to the beginning of the
piece and start recording.
These steps are simply repeated to overdub tracks 3 and 4.
