multitracking

Multitracking is a recording technique where different parts of a song are recorded separately and combined later. For example, a musician might record vocals, drums, guitar, and bass on individual tracks. These tracks are then layered and adjusted to create the final mix. This process allows for precise control over each instrument and vocal, enabling producers to improve sound quality, balance levels, and add effects. Multitracking is fundamental in modern music production, enabling complex arrangements and polished, professional-sounding recordings.
