Personally I used to use an educational version of <a href='http://www.adobe.com/products/audition/main.html' target='_blank'>Adobe Audition.</a> But the only way to get it other than through your local school resources is a more frowned upon way.
The guy from <a href='http://www.rathergood.com' target='_blank'>Rather Good.com</a> (better known for his heinious Quiznos Subs commercials) uses Goldwave. You can try searching that for some kind of freeware.
VisualDiscomix DJ Basic and DJ Analyzer and its Diagnostics program for mixing.
(finally somthing I know about!)
If your not used to beatmixing, I recommend Atomix mp3, nice solid easy to use program, no nudge button though so its not somthing you could use professionally (although you can assign nudge left/ right to keys - little bit choppy though).
its fun though, it has various kills, and you can assign most things to keys.
If your looking for somthing a bit more high-end, go for Traktor DJ Studio, its got all the things atomix has, plus a smooth as hell nudge, bmp detection which actually works, high pass/ low pass filters, and the best part is everything is fully MIDI assignable, so if you ever get a MIDI contrtoll unit you can be cutting those filters live with real knobs while software mixing, great fun tbh!
also, yeah fruityloops is the win for production!
DJ Tracktor
FruityLoops
VisualDiscomix DJ Basic
DJ Analyzer
Goldwave
and the pro ones woudl be
Adobe Audition
is there anymore good pro ones around then out of curiosity?
Fruity Loops is a very advanced tool, it has a lot of neat plugins and multi-channel mixing - all that stuff. I'd go as far as to say its an industry-level program. Plus the interface is very well designed. Its gotta trial version that you can do a lot of stuff with except the main thing which is save your final product.
The other two "high-end" softwares that I know of are Traktor and Emagic Logic Audio. I haven't actually tried Traktor but I've heard good things about it. Logic Audio is kinda nice but its not as straight forward to use, you can definitely achieve some very nice effects though.
As a conclusion I don't know of free programs that will do what you want but some of these guys are worth the money if you're really into this stuff!

GoldWave lasts a long while for that. You can make your stuff in the FL Studio trial and then play it and have GoldWave record from Stereo Mixer and save it that way. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

It's all you need. It beats the **** out of FruityLoops in things you can do and quality.
The only way I've got now is to hold a microphone up to my speakers to make cool .wavs, heh. With high volume it's pretty clear, but difficult for anything longer than 20 seconds...and I'm sure it would be a lot clearer to just take it from the .mpeg or .avis or whatever.
Fruityloops good as it is, is not mixing software (Paranoia: as for fruityloops versus reason, why not use Fruityloops as a rewire client and have reason as a plug-in).
Anyway,
Atomix is cheap cheerful and free.. well, the demo version at any rate (good to 'learn' an ear for mixing on).
VisualDiscomix DJ Basic, Is free has a 7bar EQ, and is pretty damn hard to use if you ask me.
Traktor is as free as you are resourceful, has lovely filters (read.. variable slope EQ?) lovely nudge buttons, fair BPM detection (although you should be doing it by ear anyway <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->) and is used by alot of pro DJs when playing out (so im told).
Im not sure but I dont think Goldwave is free OR mixing software.
If you can find it, get Traktor, if not go for atomix (being able to 'drag' the mumsic back into place really helps when starting out - and VisualDiscomix DJ Basic is a **** to correct).
