I hear Fruity Loops is similar, but I don't know how true that is, or how free fruity loops is.

I've used Adobe Audtion and it is pretty similar. It used to be called Cool Edit Pro.

or one of the Acid programs



what are you trying to do, anyway? Just Linear audio editing?

yea alot of editing and a bit of looping other sounds/tracks/beats to make new sounds and stuff, just to basically get some experimenting and screwing around on.

Cool Edit Pro was always pretty cool, I didn't know adobe bought them

i don't know anything about music, but one of my friends who was big into this stuff always talked about cakewalk.

yeah, there's seriously a shitload of programs out there to do this shit


fruity loops, cakewalk, Acid (which is published by Sony now), Adobe Audition


for just fucking around, I'd try and find an old version of cool edit pro or Acid. I'm pretty familiar with both of those and they're both straightforward as hell.

The actual Acid program will do this, but Acid is also a file format that you can find almost any genre of sample library in. Because it's so prevalent, other, cheaper programs like the basic Cakewalk sequencer will load Acid sample files directly into the sequencer tracks for playback and sound editing.
