Sound Forge is a single track program. Sorry.

If you had the full Sound Forge (intead of just XP), you could run two copies of it at a time, play your previous recording in one, set your sound card to record what you hear (mixed output), and record that and your new signal in the other copy of Sound Forge. It would be kinda like bouncing tracks in the old sound-on-sound days. Unfortunately XP won't let you have to copies open at once.

If you downloaded the Vegas Audio LE that comes with ACID, then you can use that as a full multitrack recorder.
