What is Overdubbing in a Recording Studio?
Overdubbing is the process of recording new tracks and layering it on top of pre-recorded audio. Adding additional elements to a song can further enhance the final product of the creative vision.
What Happens During Overdubbing?
During the overdubbing process, a musician records a new part on top of previously recorded parts. Examples include a guitar player recording a solo on top of the rhythm section, or a keyboard player adding an additional layer to the band who has previously tracked the song.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire Someone to Overdub in a Recording Studio?
The cost of hiring musicians for overdubbing depends on the musician and the project. The more elements you add, the bigger the investment. You can get a good idea of pricing for overdubbing during your pre-production consultation with the studio.
How to Plan a Successful Overdubbing Session
To make your overdubbing session as successful as possible, you will create a game plan with your producer and determine what parts need added to any already recorded tracks. By this stage, your producer will likely already have an idea of what you want your finished product to sound like, however, here is where you can analyze your initial recordings and decide what additional parts will enhance the track.

How Do You Prepare a Studio Musician For an Overdub Project?
A studio musician will need to hear the song they are performing to, gain access to any chord charts or lyric sheets, and discuss the overarching goals of the project with the producer. Some studio musicians require a couple of weeks to prepare while some can play on your project on the spot. However, for the best result, it is recommended that you allow as much time as possible for the musician to grasp your vision for the project.
