Not if you listen to a mix of the reproduced trakcs and the direct sound (line in) of your instrument. Almost all soundcards allow this, otherwise use a simple analog mixer for monitoring. The recorderd track is offset to compensate for latency, Ardour will do this automagically. High latency will be a problem if the new track is a software instrument. But then it's a problem even when just playing along with other musicians, and not specific to overdubbing. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
