Recording a new track while listening to an earlier recording (Overdubbing)

The BR-1200CD is a multi-track recorder, and in contrast to standard tape recorders, MD recorders, etc., multi-track

recorders allow you to record new tracks while you listen to tracks that have been previously recorded. This

capability is referred to as “overdubbing.” By recording the vocals, guitar, bass guitar, and other instruments onto

individual tracks, you ensure that the relative levels of instruments and their left-right positioning can be optimized

later on. In addition, it is also possible to replace entire performances for individual instruments.
