Please - Help About Mix Channels

Good morning guys !
Forgive me if this message gets too long, I don't know how to express myself and I'm using google translator.
I'm a hobbyist, not a professional. Sound Forge's manual talks about things professionals use, not common users. If anyone can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it.

Using 2 or more of these cheap Sound-USB interfaces, ($10 each) I can digitize 6 separate channels simultaneously, and work with each one of them (EQ, echo, reverb, pitch,...) separately.

After everything is ready, I need to put everything together, transforming it into two channels (stereo - Left & Right), which will go to the two speakers.

That's where my doubt appears. I need one of the channels to send (for example) 80% of the volume to the left channel, and 50% to the right channel.
Another channel sends 100% to the left channel, 100% to the right channel.
Another channel sends 70% to the right channel only.

How do you do this ?

Thanks in advance.

@JoaoBC In Sound Forge Pro go to Process > Channel Converter to mix your six channels down to two channels.

In Sound Forge Audio Studio I think you need to create a new stereo file and copy and paste the channels manually via Paste Special.

You should consider using a 'multi-track' application which is faster/easier/better to create stereo mix from multiple instruments or sound sources.

Acid, Audacity, Audition, Music Maker, ProTools, Reaper and Samplitude are multi-track options. Vegas Pro video also has a substantial multi-track DAW built in, which Sound Forge can be integrated to. Acid, Music Maker, Samplitude and Vegas are Magix products.

Some of these programs I found difficult to use, difficult to use. I would need a class or training.

Thanks to SP, I will use its
