I don't know the exact definition but it usually refers to using some sort of multi-track device or software. Lets say you had a song that was acoustic guitar and vocals. Instead of recording vocals and guitar at the same time (live), you record guitar first on one track. Then go back on another track and dub your vocals over the guitar track.
Overdubbing can give you alot more creative control when it comes to EQ, Volume Levels, panning, and effects. Thats about the best I can do for you right now. Maybe someone can explain it better.

1. Call up Adobe Audition. If it is Edit View (single horizontal track), hit F12 to go to Multitrack View. Go to Options/Device Order/Input Devices to make sure your sound card shows up in the right-hand window. With everything plugged in (guitar, mic, whatever), click on the R (Record) button on the first track. This is called 'arming' the track. Then click on the red button in the transport section at the bottom. Start playing. You should see a recording appear as a waveform in the track. If it doesn't, go back and figure out what you did wrong. If it does, record the intial part to your song. Stop.

2. Hook up whatever you want to record on the second track, and arm track 2. You will need a duplex sound card that will allow you to listen to track 1 while you are recording track 2; and don't forget to route the playback so it doesn't record track 1 all over again in track 2. Sing. Repeat. If any of these steps give you trouble, do a search. For example, there is a sticky on "when track 1 records into track 2." As a last resort, read the manual. If you ask a question the answer to which is covered in the manual, you may get a rude reply.

3. Use the resources. Post an mp3 and dazzle us.
