overdubbing...

I am moving away from PRO TOOLS as they have become insensitive to small-time, using hobbyist. Before I make the jump to SF15 pro, there is a scenario I am accustomed to setting up when recording multi-tracks ahead of a session and directing, when needed, the overdubbing track as the only recording input while monitoring playback track(s). Fading-in to its nominal recording levels then fading out at its completion on the overdub track. Likewise coordinating the playback track to fade-out and fade-in allowing the overdub recording to flow/heard...etc.

The recording & playback volumes are independently unique to each track in PT. Do I need to learn a new flow technique or is what I described above still useful or do-able in SF15 pro?? (WIN10 pro/003+rack)

@Duane-Kaya SoundForge is not a multitrack-DAW. It is an audio file editor. You can record or edit single audio files with multiple channels and you can do batch processing and you can write scripts in C# for automating tasks.

Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.

Sound Forge is multi-channel, it is NOT multitrack, which is what you are accustomed to with ProTools, where, in what you describe, you are overdubbing pre-existing tracks. Sound Forge does not do this, sorry,

For this facility you need to be looking at Samplitude or even Samplitude Pro.
