Subject:Where is MIDI merge/overdub?

I have ACID Music Studio 8.0.

I'm trying to double-record on a single MIDI track. But my second MIDI recording ends-up overwriting the first MIDI recording.

I've searched far and wide, and to my surprise there doesn't appear to be MIDI-merge/overdub recording functionality, something that I previously considered to be the most basic functionality to be found in the simplest of software products that perform MIDI-sequencing.

I may have made a mistake by purchasing this software. Please prove me wrong. Is it possible to record in a MIDI-merge/overdub mode in ACID Music Studio 8.0?

Thanks in advance.

There should be a button on the toolbar under the timeline that looks like a zipper. Click it to enable MIDI merge.

There's no such button and there's no mention of it in the help files.

I think MIDI Merge this is one of the features that is present in the full-price version of Acid (Acid Pro) but not in the cheaper, cut-down version (Acid Studio).

My mistake; could have sworn it was in there though.
