About recording modes
Ordinary recording
In addition to ordinary recording of the input signal,
with this unit, you can mix and record the input sound
with an audio file that is playing back in overdubbing.
Overdubbing OFF
Ordinary recording of the input signal occurs and a
new file is automatically created.
Overdubbing ON
When overdubbing is ON, you can play an audio file
saved on the SD card and mix in and record a new
sound. For example, you can sing along to a karaoke
track or play an instrument over a backing track.
Even when overdubbing a new file is created
automatically. The audio file that is played back
is not overwritten.
TIP
By recording repeatedly in OVERDUB mode, you can
use the unit as a simple multitrack recorder to overdub
multiple parts.
