multitracks
Separates audio channels
Multitracks refers to recordings separated into individual audio channels—vocals on one track, drums on another, guitar on a third.
The term usually appears when discussing music production: The engineer pulled up the multitracks to remix the song.
As a verb, to multitrack is to record this way, layering sounds separately for later mixing and adjustment.
