Boss BR-1600 - Recording a New Track; While Listening to an Earlier Recording (Overdubbing)

Recording a new track while listening to an earlier recording (Overdubbing)
The BR-1600CD 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.
