Ping-Pong Recording

The ping-pong recording technique allows you to mix and record several tracks onto another
empty track. This is often used to free up tracks for more recording, since those original tracks
are then used for further recording. This technique is useful when you wish to record many
different instruments or sound sources individually. The following illustration shows that the
ping-pong technique and overdubbing allows you to record seven sound sources.
