It would. I know you asked this question before about Gold Wave. I'll just tell you that it will be no easier to accomplish what you want to do with Sound Forge than it would d be with Gold Wave. What I did for the tracks I recorded myself was to put on a pair of headphones, play the karaoke file in Winamp through the headphones and record my vocal track. Then I trimmed the unneeded beginning and end off the vocals, applied whatever effects I wanted to the vocals (my method gives you the advantage of having the vocals isolated), and mixed them in with Gold Wave. The proceedure for SF wil be similar.
