Editing/remixing Software, Freestyle type tape-editing on the Mac Options

[keybie]

I'd like to get started "tape style" editing on my Mac, but so far haven't found much software for this kind of thing.
By editing I'm thinking about the same sort of thing people back in the days used to do with reel-to-reel recordings, splicing tape, repeating small bits and pieces etc. You'd often hear it in 80s "Freestyle" music.

Anyway, I've understood that what I need is software that allows you to divide the song file into sections, or a grid, so as to easier divide the sections you want to edit.
I've found one application which does this called Wave editor, but it costs US$ 250 and seems very advanced and complex, so I was wondering if there is other software available which will do the same sort of thing?

I'm also considering buying Logic express, for multi-track recording my own music, but I suppose it doesn't handle the above kind of editing as well, does it?

If you need only audio editing at a low price you can't beat Audacity, it's free. If you want something more uptight while very easy to use and the tape op in mind, I'd look into the Pro tools direction, but you need to buy either an M-audio interface with the M-powered version of pro tools, or eying the entry level M-box to access PT LE. There's also Ardour which is free.

Have a look here for audio only and here for audio and MIDI (includes links to the above mentionned), there may be other choices I'm not aware of now
