I'm not sure how this has remained free to use for this long, and actually continually updated, but this is one of the coolest things ever: www.audiotool.com
Now, if you've never touched a musical instrument, this might not be for you. But, if you have some experience (even just a little), and some interest in how electronic music is made, then this will blow your mind.
Audiotool runs in a browser, and the UI is intuitive (if you find Google Maps to be intuitive, for example) so there's no special gear or software downloads necessary. It also has an excellent wiki resource: http://wiki.audiotool.com/doku.php
I fit in the "have been around music for a long time but only kind of understand how stuff works" camp. After playing with Audiotool for a bit, I've been able to corral some chunks of disparate knowledge and make is useful, finally. That's saying something - this bit of free software has taught me stuff I've always wanted to learn.
