Music writing, editing, and synthesizing software recommendation?

I'd love to find a free or reasonably inexpensive music editing program designed for writing music. Ideally, it would

* Have digital multi-track mixing, with control over fades and pitch over time for each track or sound

* Allow sampling or import of other sounds/recordings

* Have pre-defined instrument sounds you can drag&drop to the timeline.

* Must run on a PC

I'm not a musician, but am familiar with using some digital video editing packages like Adobe Premiere or After Effects. I am looking for a program that will give me similar control, but designed more for audio than video. I'm not afraid of using a very technical program with a steep learning curve, but don't want to cough up big money for something professional.

Any suggestions?

    Situated on what you say you want, you can have to alter the price range. Maintain in intellect, too, that the more the app can do, the more you'll be able to must learn. $a hundred is at the low finish of this sort of software. Virtually no app will do multi-monitor (except i am flawed) at that low a cost. In that rate variety, that you may look into Adobe surest elements and Sony Vegas. They may get you began beyond movie Maker but may also be confined. Many persons work their manner as much as professional apps by using utilising these and finding out extra about modifying. The next jump in cost is a giant one but these apps will do what you say you want to be taught. Superior professional and Vegas pro. You could purchase extra 3rd social gathering effects for these apps. Once you get proficient at modifying, many humans add compositing to their workflow by shopping After effects. Extra effects and a whole one of a kind world aside from commonplace editing. I would take it slow and not soar into professional apps from film maker. Some individuals do it however they commonly never truely study all that the professional app can do.
