Cubase is absolutely fantastic if you are using raw tracks but way too complicated if you are simply trying to overlay songs/music/speech downloaded from iTunes, cds, recorded on a mini-disc etc - I've got cubase and cool edit pro, but use the latter far more often than I do cubase.
You can get cool edit pro for about £15 now because it's now become Adobe Audition...but it's also useful to download some freeware that can convert track formats too if you do get your music from iTunes, as if you're doing more complicated stuff than just cropping tracks and pasting them together, you'll need to be able to work with .wavs rather than .mp3s
