I was wondering what does layering a track mean? Or is there a Thread that anyone can refer me to so I can better understand this? Thanks for any and all help. :confused:
 
Basically, if you record three of the same vocal tracks and add them together, together, you're "layering" vocals.

Same with guitars or anything else. Plain & simple.
 
And if you layer 60 or 70 vocals together, you get a Def Leppard album.
 
And .... on the same token, if you record multiple takes in which you use bits and pieces of the different takes to create a new track or replace the bits and pieces of an existing track .... this is what you do when you "comp" a track. Often used for vocal tracks that don't seem to get nailed completely in any one of the takes, but when pieced together can yield the one that gets printed.
