Hello,

I want to take several .wav as separate tracks and put them together.

I have never used Sound Forge - will this program do this?

I think I can do it with Vegas Video.

Or what would be a better program to take different .wav (or any sound
files) mix them together as separate tracks or just join them together?

Any free products out there?

Thanks,

Tmuld

It depends on how you're using the term "tracks." If you mean tracks in
the sense of tracks on a CD, like you want to string several different
songs (that are stereo recordings) together end to end, then, yes, you
can do this with Sound Forge.

If you mean tracks in the sense of individual recordings of the drums,
the piano, the guitar, the vocal - different parts of the song that you
need to mix together to make a complete song, then no, Sound Forge,
which isn't a multitrack program, wouldn't be appropriate for this.
Vegas would.

If "tracks" is equal to completed mixes of songs, yes... SoundForge will
make quick work of it.

Aas SoundForge is a stereo editor, it is not ideal for doing what you want
if any variable degree on control over the mixing is required.

You have more preview capability and envelope control with vegas (Vegas
Video and Vegas Audio died out years ago - it's now just Vegas).

Yes there are free products out there, but you already have (?) Vegas which
is amoungst the best...

in any audio editor the process would be almost identical - open all the wavs,
select the second one, select all, copy, click to window with first wav, click
button to move cursor to end of file, then paste. Next, take the third wav,
and repeat the process. At the end the first wav contains all the other wavs
in sequence. Or if you want to retain the first wav just start with a blank
wav.. the process would be slightly quicker in a multitracker which again all
work approminately the same way for doing something like this.. just add each
wav to one track in the sequence you desire, and then mix down. You can even
insert silence between the wavs more easily this way than in an editor.

Do you mean end-to-end 'in series' ?
Or side-by-side like a multitrack ?

You can splice .wav files end to end very easily
via the typical copy and paste routine.

If you want to 'mix' you can do it but's a little clumsy.
You open seperate windows and copy and paste/special (mix)

Better to have a real multitrack program.

Yes !

Vegas, CEP/Audition, ProTools, Cubase, etc,etc.

Any free products out there?

ProTools Free,
Audacity or several other various open source programs.
