Fire up Audacity, import both tracks so they're layered over each other, and export to .wav or .mp3. I think Audacity is free, but not totally certain.

what sort of tracks do you want to mix? its not as easy as just gradually fading one out and fading the other in usually

Excellent

As for the type of mixing I intend to do, is taking a basic beat from one song (Reggaeton genre) and mixing it with a midi beat and lyrics from say RnB or Rap genre. Possibly even several different songs, I have many ideas of what will go well together.

try the ableton demo, mixing anything together with it is easy peasy , adding acapellas over another tunes beat is especially easy with it
