Cubase overdubs

[Eean]

Hi, I think this might be an easy one but...
If you have recorded a track on cubase and then you want to overdub a part, how do you get Cubase just to play the overdub?
At the moment it's playing the track underneath as well as the overdub.
Can you help?

press the mute button on any track you don't want to hear during playback/record.

I was putting the overdubs on top of each other on the same track to sync them up, is there an easier way to do it?

Oh right, sorry.
I would probably use a separate track for each overdub - it's much easier that way.
Out of curiosity, why are you trying to put everything on one track? Are you limited to how many tracks you can use (i.e. cubase LE or something)?
If that's the case, then I would still do overdubs on separate tracks, then when I'm running out I would maybe export a mixdown and import everything as a single track, or something like that anyway...
(sorry, my brain is a bit fried today...)
