free or inexpensive ACID-style software?

emotion over sonics
So the new Duncan Sheik album has a DVD with all the individual instruments in separate wav files (post mixing, I think - so drums are one summed track, vocals have reverb and compression, etc). But it's been fun to play totally different music with these songs and use just the original vocal / acoustic guitar track or whatever.

I have friends who are not musicians, nor are they really that interested in computer recording. But they are interested in tinkering around with this album in an ACID-like software program.

Anyone know of a good option? Sony seems to have a $40 version of ACID these days, but it would be cool to find a simple freeware program.

thanks for the help!
 
REAPER audio is free, and supports VST Effects and Multitrack recording, though it's only in Beta stage right now I believe
Audacuty is Free
Krystal Audio is free

Google any of those ...
 
There is also a couple other free ones Like "Krystal" (Kristal?) and "Audiacy" are both freeware....

Cheers
 
Audacity is awesome!

the Kristal is cool too

those of your people who have macs can use garage band....

i think Goldwave had a multi track software too... not sure


this seems to be the new wave for bands to let the fans play with the mixes!
