I am already using Nero Wave Editor on Windows to record and edit Wav or MP3 using Soundcard's Line-In. The Free software has a bug. Even if I select one of the channels to change the volume post recording, the volume change affects both channels equally.

So what I am looking for is a wav or mp3 editor app on Windows wherein I can choose a channel and control the volume selectively for a section of a single channel if required. Thx.

Audacity should do it. Tried it during my college days.

Yes Audacity can actually do it. It's not straightforward though. You have to split the Stereo Track to two separate L & R channels from the Left Pane. Then you can individually alter the volume by selecting only one of the two channels. Once job is done Make a joint Stereo track again. Wonderful option.
