In my personal effort to overcome the use of illegal software, I have found many free or low cost software programs that will help with audio editing and production. I have also found a few free online musical education sites. This page contains links to various tools I have found useful, all are free, or very cheap, and hopefully will be useful to you as well. I'm confident you can find more by searching for yourself, however, these are a start in the right direction. Remember, there are plenty of free resources online to help with your music. I will add more as I come across them.
