The software won't help you if you don't have a good audio source -- like a decent mic.





The cheapest way to do this might be a Samson USB microphone for about $40 - $50, and Audacity software





Audacity, a good basic program for recording and editing http://audacity.sourceforge.net/





Hit the library and read up in backissues of magazines -- Sound on Sound, Electronic Musician, Recording, Keyboard, FutureMusic, Computer Music, MIX, EQ. They often have how-to technique articles and comparative reviews of software and hardware.

Audacity should work good for you:

Should be able to open the song if it is an mp3 etc, or import it from CD. Then you can record your own voice track on top of it.
