Playback and Record at the same time

Hi – I recently read the following as part of a review of the utrack24 a couple of years back –

“•When used as a hard disk recorder there are no overdubbing capabilities. You can select up to 24 tracks to record simultaneously (again, up to 8 at 88.2kHz or 96kHz sample rates), but you can’t record 16 tracks in one pass, then add more tracks to that same recording on any or all of the 8 unused tracks later. This also means that you can not use some of the tracks as recording tracks to capture the performance while simultaneously using others as pre-recorded playback tracks to support your live performance – you’re limited to doing one or the other at any given time. ”

This was on an older firmware version.

Is this still the case ? I was hoping to record live performances of my band alongside playing back a click track – some keys backing and the midi track for our light show.

Will I need a separate laptop/recorder to do this ?

Thanks for any help in advance 🙂
