Some tips for overdubbing
When you record new material while listening to a
recorded performance, your playing may tend to be
buried in the existing performances, making it difficult
for you to play. In this case, you can slightly lower the
faders of the playback tracks, or pan the playback tracks
to left (or right) and the sound you are playing to right
(or left) to make it easier to hear yourself.
