Lower Level Freestyle Music How-to's?

[Ellie]

Hello all,
I've started working on my first freestyle and have been both reading and talking to others who have a wealth of knowledge. I think I can figure out how to design the ride to work with my music, but I'm severely technologically challenged and the how-to of music editing and splicing totally escapes me. I'm talking first level, so nothing too complex to be sure, but there are definite changes in the music (all from the same album/score) that will need to be worked out. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars but more than that, I know what I like in the music and what works best for my pony (literally a pony). Does anyone have any resources or ideas for me? Many thanks in advance!

I used audacity for my training level freestyle 2 years ago. The free version was super easy to use and let you do some fairly complicated stuff.

Here's a link for the download:
