What is the term used to describe layering tracks by bouncing recordings back and forth from one recording machine to another?
Ping-pong recording (also called ping-ponging, bouncing tracks, or reduction mixing) is a method of sound recording. It involves combining multiple track stems into one, allowing more room for overdubbing when using tape recorders with a limited set of tracks. It is also used to simplify mixdowns.
What device do you need to record a song?
WHAT YOU NEED. A desktop or laptop computer with a fair amount of RAM, a good processor and audio card. A digital audio workstation (DAW) software like Pro Tools, Logic or Reason.
What's the difference between multitrack and overdub?
A multitrack recording is the combination of multiple sound sources to create a cohesive whole. Overdubbing is the combining a new performances with existing recorded performances.
What is it called when you layer vocals?
Overdubbing (also known as layering) is a technique used in audio recording in which audio tracks that have been pre-recorded are then played back and monitored, while simultaneously recording new, doubled, or augmented tracks onto one or more available tracks of a DAW or recorder.
