thanks wax for the quick reply. your link was helpful, but it didnt quite solve the problem i was having. i guess i should have been more specific in my post. i have saved two different files and im trying to combine them into one track or project and i am having no such luck. the mix and render option works great as long as i am recording tracks on the same project. but any info on how to combine two separate saved tracks into one track would greatly be appreciated.

Ok …

  1. Open Project 1

  2. Use Tracks > Add New > Stereo Track (or Mono if you are working in Mono) to create a second track

  3. Open Project 2

  4. Select the whole project - use CTRL+A

  5. Copy it to the paste buffer - use CTRL+C

  6. Go back to Project 1

  7. Select the new second track you added - click in its Track Control Panel

  8. Paste from the paste buffer - use CTRL+V

THEN you can use the Mix and Render
