Huck's idea of the metronome and counting yourself in seems a good idea, unless you can add markers to the music file that can be removed later. I'm doubting you can do this though, if the file is just exported as an MP3.
Suppose i wanted to steal a drum beat, and add my vocals and guitar...then send it on to someone else to add their own piece (over the interwebz)...what would the other person need to record over the top? could they just play it loud and play acoustically?
For timing reasons, you'd want the drums first then record the other instruments over top of them. ...[text shortened]... pie. You probably want to collaborate with a friend or something though, I'm guessing.
Originally posted by darvlayIs it possible to edit the finished file that is exported from the recoder in such a way. Is it not just all lumped together in one big lumpy sound thing, or can the seperate tracks be pulled apart again?
If that's the case, just record high-hat hits for timing where the intro instruments are then edit them out afterwards in cubase.

Originally posted by jimslyp69from the signal processing viewpoint it is possible to pull every different mike source out from the compound signal, IF and ONLY if you have n+1 (n being the number of instruments) microphones. otherwise, which means usually, it's not possible.

in practice a hi-hat is relatively easy to tone down from the compound signal, if only the other sounds present are dissimilar to it OR their 'function' is known. same applies to every recording device you use.

The effects will be useless to you. In my opinion, the best thing about the Zoom package is that it can double as a USB interface and comes with a lite version of Cubase as well so you will be able to use your computer as a digital audio workstation.
