if I record a rythym guitar and vocal track, can I play it back and add another guitar track while listening to the 1st?

Yes. You can record 2 new tracks at a time and it plays all the tracks while you are recording the new ones. If you don't want to hear the other tracks, you can manually turn them down or mute them. Hope this helps. it is a magnificent machine for the price.

You can record both at the SAME TIME onto DIFFERENT tracks! But yeah, you could definitely do what you're saying.

No problem. One guitar certainly can instruct two VL5s on what is the underlying chord structure of the song. This is especially easy because each VL5 has a 'Guitar Thru' socket you can use to send the guitar signal to the second one. If you want background vocals other than straight harmony, though, for instance some sort of call-and-response, then you'll of course need two singers on two mics.

yes and no. this machine is kind of hard to work with whenever there is any type of transferring involved. if you can play the tracks one at a time while this records it, then yes, since you will have the same tracks, just moved into the other recording system (think multitrack re-recording). I've tried that before and it works perfectly fine as long as (1) you can perfectly sync the start times of all of the tracks as you re-record them (that should be as easy as hitting play on one and record on the other simultaneously), and (2) you don't accidentally add a lot of hum or noise to the tracks by re-recording them. you may not notice the noise when you try just one track, but with eight tracks, that means that any noise entering the tracks between the two recorders will be multiplied by 8. so, in short, yes you can transfer tracks from the old unit to the new one as long as you make sure that all of the tracks start at the same time, you don't accidentally add loads of noise, and you aren't in a hurry ('cause it's going to take a little while to transfer all those tracks over). does that help?

You can, but it still won't play them in any order that I could work out. Not numerical, not in track order. Just some random order.

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

You could if you in put mic in 1 channel with balance all the way 1 direction, and then guitar in another channel with the balance all the way the other direction. You would then have 2 seperated mono recordings. Easily edited in recording software.

I always record the basic drum track on track 1 on the left set of knobs and then add guitars, keyboards, vocals, etc on the other tracks 2-8. You can export some of thise tracks and empty them out and reuse them again if you need more than the 8 available. As long as you keep a couple of basic tracks to follow along with, you'll still be able to make them all match up time wise.

Yes you can. You can also record it and play it back later, but only on the machine that you recorded it on.

Yes that will work. What happens is, you play your "karaoke'd" track and mix in what you are singing...

The recorded file will be one track. You would need to stop the recording and start again after every song if you wish to record each track separately

Yes...you can also pause the song and go to the next song and the last song.

What a good question! I had to grab my device to see if you can. And............You can! How cool. So, while listening to a recording (song or voice) If you press and release the forward or back button, it advances to the next or goes back to the last track. But if you press and hold the forward or back button it will advance or rewind within the current track being listened to. So there you have it. I'll be leveraging this feature in future for sure. Cheers and thanks for asking!

Sorry, haven't used it much to know for sure but there is a button for replaying all tracks. However, it would seem you have to press it after each cycle, according to the user manual.

No unless you were able to somehow pull out the vocal track. Otherwise the effect will apply to the entire recording...

yes, furthermore that track may be mono or stereo.better still .. a track, or tracks may be recorded while others play back, and you can mix down all your tracks to a single track to reopen all your channels for more tracks ... its as mild or wild as you need it to be

Not totally sure but I think this is more like the original 4-track machines where you get what you record and that's that. If you were so inclined you could always export the takes individually and comp them in a DAW later to add better effects. The most apparent one on here would be the reverb (which isn't too bad).
