So I already have Sound Forge. I figure that because you have to pay for Sound Forge, it might be better. But I've been seeing really high ratings for Audacity which is free.

I'm recording a CD and I need easy mixing. Which is better?

Should I stick with SF because I already know how to work most of it? Or is Audacity that much better than SF that it's worth trying out?

Or is there a better and easier program than either of these that is also free?

Thanks!
