Record vocals and instruments in layers on your iPhone or iPad. Sing a harmony, add guitar to a melody, or build a beat one part at a time. Record your first part, then listen back while you add the next. Overdubber keeps your recordings together so you can shape an idea into a demo and share it. START RECORDING FOR FREE Record up to 8 layers per project, mix your parts, and export your finished mix as WAV or M4A. • Stay in time with a metronome and count-in. • Loop your recording to practice or add another part. • Trim takes, adjust their timing, and add fades without changing the original recordings. • Balance each layer with volume, pan and mute controls. • Add reverb, tape warmth and Glue compression to your mix. • Return to projects that save automatically, and find them by name in your library. • Share your mix to Files, AirDrop or other apps. GET THE FULL APP A single purchase unlocks unlimited layers, audio import, individual-track export, additional themes and no ads. Bring in backing tracks and samples to record over. Export your layers as separate WAV files in a ZIP when you want to continue mixing in another music app. One-time purchase. No subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Play Orff at none against Overdubber's 1. Play Orff also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Overdubber's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 18 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
