• And since the AW4416 provides switchable phantom power on inputs 1 and 2, you can choose studio-quality phantom-powered microphones with confidence. • Tutorial—Laying Down the Basic Tracks Overdubs The actual procedure for recording overdubs is really no different from recording the basic tracks, except that you’ll be monitoring previously recorded material while doing it.
