Subject:Play and Record simultaneously to add vocal to WAV

Hi,

I want to use Sound Forge 4.0d to mix a vocal with a
instrumental music WAV file (to get a new WAV file with
singing).

One way is to record the voice then use Edit:Paste
Special:Mix to mix it into the instrumental WAV. I can do
this but it's troublesome to get the two properly
synchronized.

If there were some way to play and record simultaneously, I
could avoid this trouble. Can this be done in this app? If
not, is there some other app I should be using?

Thanks

Sound Forge is not a multi-track audio recorder. You would need Vegas
for that. But if you really just want to take an existing sound file
and add a vocal track to it, you can do it with ACID. You would just
load your song as a single track instead of using loops. Then you can
actually playback the sound file while recording into a new track in
ACID (as long as your sound card supports duplex operation).
