    Audio Mixing Software - recommendations?

    I'm gonna be instructing some classes at my local gym in the coming months, most notably spinning. As a result, I need to make some music CD's (approximately 45 minutes long) of continuous music to workout with.

    Now I'm after some software that I could use to mix, cut and edit tracks etc etc. I don't have any real experience in this area (other than doing little things on Creative Wave Studio in the past) so I'd appreciate any recommendations. I won't be doing anything amazing and you won't see me on top of the pops anytime soon so if such software exists as freeware, it'd be ideal!

    Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ,should be able to do what you want with this, however, if you want to record in the mp3 format you will have to dload and install the LAME MP3 encoder, instructions (easy) here - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help...all&i=lame-mp3


    Hope this helps (and that you have fun with it)

    Thanks for the suggestions! I think I'll try Audacity to begin with as it's free and see how I get on.

    I use Audacity under Windows & Linux.

    I think it hits the right balance between power and ease of use.

    like a lot of tools you need to invest some time in becoming familiar with the settings.

    Selecting waveforms is simple and intuitive.
    I found changing the speed (bpm) less than intuitive. The tutorials and the wiki http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page helped me
