    In PA9, mute any tracks you don't want and then use
    Tools>Mixdown Audio>Bounce to Tracks.....

    That will take the tracks and combine into one new track (PA9 will select an available track to use).

    I forgot to mention that when the Bounce to Tracks option box appears, make sure the Format selected is Mix to Single Track Stereo.

    Oh, midi!  Click on the track number for track 2 to select it.  Edit>Copy...   In the Copy options box, select only Events in Track.  Then click OK.

    Now click on the track number for track 1 to select it.  Edit>Paste...   In the Paste options box, make sure "Blend Old With New" is selected and that the Starting Time, Repetitions, a Starting Track are what you want. 

    Track 1 should now have the midi notes for both.

    Can't you just record each take seperate, then mix them to a 3rd channel? After that you can dump both seperate horn tracks. Or you can play back one while PLAYING the other part in real time, recording both to the second track. You have to have it set on sound on sound and record all the same time. I forget if you are limited to a # of tracks with Pro udio. I use SOnar 6 and just was looking at Pro Audio because I started with Pro 8 when it came out. Regardless you CAN do it but one needs to write out the recording proceedure and be sure you want to do mixes before the FINAL MIX for as you know, once you mix it, (just like making a cake to bake) you can't change the MAIN ingredients. Just like you can't take the flour out of a baked cake...to late....mmmmm

    JV,  the OP says they are midi tracks, not audio.  Evidently he is laying down separate midi tracks to be played back with a trumpet sound.  See post #3 above.

    On top of that, Pro Audio has so many available tracks that whether working with MIDI or Audio there is no need to ever lose any previous tracks on a merge, and in addition to that, you should be able to reverse anything with an "Undo". So the cake can still be experimented with resulting in as many final .wav or .mp3 mixes that you desire. 
     
    All the final mix does is create a .wav or .mp3 file as the final mix. It doesn't change or prevent the editting of any individual or merged tracks. But all of this is beside the point. Larry is correct about OP asking about MIDI. I just wanted to clarify some of these other points because a lot of people still read these boards that are somewhat new to PA8 or 9.
     
    I'm not a veteran by any stretch. I only got mine successfully functioning just last year after having PA9 on a shelf for way too long from previous failures.
