WHAT DOES OVERDUBBING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Overdubbing

Overdubbing is a technique used in audio recording, whereby a performer listens to an existing recorded performance and simultaneously plays a new performance along with it, which is also recorded. The intention is that the final mix will contain a combination of these "dubs". Tracking of the rhythm section to a song, then following with overdubs, has been the standard technique for recording popular music since the early 1960s. Today, overdubbing can be accomplished even on basic recording equipment, or a typical PC equipped with a sound card, using software such as Pro Tools or Audacity.
