Sound mixing software?

I posted this in the Art forum, but might as well give it a go here too.

Do you know of any decent sound-mixing software? I'd like to be able to cut up different tracks of music and sound clips, and layer them, w/ the ability to adjust the volume of each track (and maybe digitally alter the sounds as well).

I'd also like to be able to do this for free or cheap. Any ideas? Oh, and the easier to use the better! I ain't so edukated ya kno

 

Hello Rigamarole,

I use: 'MP3Maker', 'MTV Music Generator', and 'Cakewalk'.

Got'em all at Staples.

 

whast about one that can raise the volumne on just the 'audience' channell on live tracks?

 

Each program can move between digital and analog manipulations.

For the price, these are really cool tools.

 

If you use an apple computer, the is a program called garage band which is good for recording your own stuff. simple to use but you can only get an good quality sice it is just a computer program.
