Digital vs. Analog: Digital 4 Track Recording

Video Transcript

Hi I'm JA Donnelly for Expert Village and today I'm going to talk to you about 4 track recording. I'll hit stop. It's a lot easier on a digital recorder. In the old days of tape 4 track to overdub a channel like this you would lose a generation. The quality would go down and there was a thing called bouncing tracks. So we would bounce tracks. Say mix these two tracks down to one track. On tape now and just to give ourselves extras tracks, but you were losing generations because you were still using tape and you weren't in the digital world. You were in the analog world. But, now we're digital. It's very easy to do that. So I will go back and bring my cursor back here or I can do it on my transport and I'm going to hit play. It's playing back both tracks simultaneously and as you can see it shows you the notes briefly here. So that's a quick easy way just to overdub within and on the same instrument track.
