Step 4: Overdubbing
In this step, you will learn how to record another instrument
or vocals on a new track, while listening to the rhythm song
and to the track you already recorded. Recording additional
parts in this way is called "overdubbing".

on the next track.

Adjust the recording level with the [REC LEVEL]
control while playing your instrument.
