Want to record and mix separate parts to a single recording on PC? Have some sound recordings recorded using the Voice Recorder need to combine in Windows? In an earlier article, we explained how you can Merge Sound Recorder files in Windows using several free media converter programs. Here we’d like to introduce a more powerful audio editing software with appealing features, Adobe Audition. You can easily join multiple audio tracks into one using this software. We’ll use its Windows version on a Windows PC in this demo.

How to combine two or more songs, voice recordings?

Run Audition on your PC. Click File menu, select Open from the drop-down list, then browse to the folder where the music, voice recordings, audio files are saved, select and add the first audio clip to Audition. You will then see the audio file in the Waveform view in the working area. Go to the File menu again. This time you should choose Open Append > To Current. Browse to the folder and choose the second audio track and add it to Audition. This will put the second track at the end of the first one. Repeat the steps if you want to merge more than two music, sound recording, audio tracks. Audition will put each track at the end of the previous one.

For example, you can add fade in to the first audio clip, add fade out to the last audio track, adjust the amplitude using the Waveform Editor in Adobe Audition, etc. We can’t cover all these issues in the same post though.
