I have several different sounds that I want to combine together. Each sound file must have a diffent amount of volumn. Can I do this with Sound Forge???? TIA

sure, as long as you do not want the sounds to overlap. because then you would have to dish out money for Acid Pro.

If you want a cheapo simple channel mixer, then try accoustica software. No where near as good SF (not even in the same galaxy) but makes mixing sound together and overlapping very easy.

You can do this with Sound Forge, but it's very awkward and it's not the kind of thing Sound Forge is intended for - you would be far better off using a proper multi-track audio application.

But you should aready have the correct tool for this kind of thing - as far as I am aware, Sound Forge comes with a cut down version of Vegas called VegasLE. Vegas is (amongst other things) a multitrack audio app and will do your mixing job nicely.

VegasLE only comes with the full version of SoundForge; it's not included with the cheaper Studio version. However, VideoFactory handles three stereo audio tracks. I've used this for multitrack editing with good results.
