I need to turn down the volume of a .wav sound. If a program could mix .wav sounds, "scale" their time length without changing frequencies, or add effects to them, I wouldn''t say no.

www.goldwave.com

Not free (Very few good things are!), but can do what you want with minor hassle.

Try Audacity.
If that''s all you need, it''s just perfect -- GPL''d, too

Thanks for the suggestions, problem solved.

are you kidding? window''s very own sound recorder will do everything you have listed there except for mixing files.

but, i would suggest gold wave. its free enough. you get some number of times you can hit the play/stop buttons before you have to save and reopen. good enough for me.
