hello mr thomas, yes the music was louder than my voice but I think it was because I thought I was using the micro of my laptop, but was using the micro earpiece I use to talk on skype and that was not me and as i said, it's my first work with sound forge, i have other works but theiy were made by other program. i think it will be beter for the next time. i am still learning and sound forge is not an easy program but I like the challenge of working with mixtures. hugs, maria * To post to the audio-pals group send e-mail to: audio-pals@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe via e-mail send mail to: audio-pals-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put the word unsubscribe in the subject line of the e-mail.
