Ohh, I see what you mean now. Yeah, sounds pretty impossible without the midi... Unless there's some software to do it out there.

Oh, that. Should've been more clear in the OP.
Go get any DAW with midi support. Make or find a midi file of what you want. Throw it into an instrument track.
For your instrument, just use a sampler. Throw your sample in (like a meow or an AIRHORN or whatever you want).
Play. The sample should be pitch-shifted to match the midi file, which provides your notes.

Here's a quick 5 minute tutorial. With pictures!
Step 1: Put down a single MIDI track.
Step 2: Steal a MIDI file (I got mine from here). Throw it in. This particular one has three tracks. We'll only be needing the "right hand" as it's the melody.
Step 3: Throw in a sampler.
Step 4: Throw in a sample. I took the airhorn from here.
Step 5: Get rid of the useless tracks we're not using. Also, make sure the airhorn starts at zero.
Edit: minor formatting, grammar

Using Ableton live you can do remove certain layers of an audio clip

Step 1. Download the audio clips of the meows and whatnot (the things you want to replace the 'beat' with).
Step 2. Download sfzEd.
Step 3. Using sfzEd, create a soundfont using the meows you've downloaded. This will be the 'instrument' you'll be using. Note that this will automatically pitch-shift the 'meow' samples if the key note is chosen properly - so you can download an audio clip of a cat meowing in, say, F#, import the audio clip into sfzEd, set the key note to F#, select the entire keyboard as the target range, and you'll get yourself a nice cat singer meowing in tune.
Step 4. Load the DAW of your choice.
Step 5. Import the MIDI file of the song.
Step 6. Remove all the tracks except for the 'beat'.
Step 7. Import the audio clip of the song.
Step 8. Match the beat MIDI track to the actual beat of the song.
Step 9. Load the SFZ cat instrument you've created previously (e.g. using RGC Audio's SFZ).
Step 10. Use this instrument with the 'beat' MIDI track.
Step 11. Use the EQ to dampen the beat in the original audio recording (the hardest part).
Step 12. Adjust the volume of the MIDI track to match the volume of the original audio recording. Apply a little bit of reverb to both (MIDI and the original audio) to make them sound less disconnected.
Step 13. Record the resulting mix.

can anyone recommend me good audio editing software? I basically want to cut out parts of music/song. Something that supports MP3 /OGG, other audio formats. Free is preferred.
