Okay, so, say I record myself with Windows Sound Recorder. Now I want to add a second, slightly muted audio track behind the first. What's the easiest way to do that?

The Sound Recorder in Vista/7 seems to have a lot less options than I remember it having in 95/98/2000. In the old version, I remember having the option to stop the recording during playback, and then inserting a NEW recording or pre-recorded file. This new version only allows for recording, and then saving once the "Stop" button is clicked.

There's Audacity. That's surprisingly comprehensive for a free app.

Yeah, they broke Sound Recorder unfortunately. Having said that, I can't think of a way of doing what you ask with the old one anyway. I'd also recommend Audacity, it's really good, free and can multitrack.

WaveOsaur is fantastic, and i like it better then Audacity for quick fixes.... but for massive comprehensive plugins you just cant beat Audacity...

Cool, I hadn't heard of that one.

Audacity is amazing.

Audacity. Nuff' said.

Ableton Live maybe? Its not free though. It has 30 days trial, and for that time you'll get a fully functional professional DAW.

Audacity has inferior VST plugin support and use, but they have the largest working library... id say give WavOsaur a shot... you can chain and script your plugin values for projects just like the big daddy Audition...

I also recommend Audacity.

Frinika may be good as well.
