Hi guys, i want to know if Sound forge 10 will allow me to records Music, meaning having my beat play while i am singing.

To be more specific I want to know if it will allow me to records my song, which will include the sound and my voice.

Thanks for the help. i want to buy it but i am not sure if i will be able to record my songs, it looks like it is only for editing audio and will allow you to record your voice only.

SF is more of a multi-channel editing and mastering application. You would want a multi-track application which allows "over-dubbing". ( if I may use the antiquated term) Sony's Vegas or Acid would be more suited to what you want.
Other third-party multi-track software would include: Pro-Tools, Sonar, Audition, Reaper and Audacity (the later two are free-ware for personal use)

If you are doing purely accoustic recordings then Vegas might be a better choice. It's more like a tape recorder than ACID is. Best thing to do is download demos of both and try them out before spending the money.

All depends on your music.
If you will be using loops or midi, Acid is your choice in the Sony line.
Vegas has a high-powered multitrack audio editor built in, but doesn't support midi.

The OP mentioned singing over his beats, so Acid will probably suit him.
