Play Multiple sound files simultaneously through raspberry pi, preferably using python

Question

I'm trying to make an instrument on the raspberry pi but it's my first time using one so it's a bit tricky. In the program that I'm writing for this instrument I'm having trouble executing multiple sounds at once, how would I go about doing that?

it looks like there are some similar Q&A's on stack already:

I also just tried a third implementation that works, see code below:

import simpleaudio as sa
wave_obj = sa.WaveObject.from_wave_file("Downloads/sample1.wav")
wave_obj2 = sa.WaveObject.from_wave_file("Downloads/sample2.wav")
wave_obj.play()
wave_obj2.play()

Generally good practice to do some searching before asking a repeated question (I recently made the same mistake though so no worries.)
