Hey, Charlie.  I've been using audio and sequencing programs for a long  
time (sequencer + on DOS..).  I would say that Sonic Foundry Acid is  
the most intuitive of all of them, but now that it is SONY, who knows.   
For two track audio on a Mac, I like amadeus, a shareware program that  
has some great real-time visualizations FFT's over time and other cool  
displays.  Our education staff has been running some audio workshops, I  
keep on thinking we should get more deeply into it and do some long  
term workshops on audio production, but we haven't quite gotten there  
yet.  I would be very interested in exchanging ideas about this.  I can  
put you in touch with the educator who has been doing this on our  
staff, if you contact me offlist.

have a good weekend.
