I recommended Caustic, which I planned to use until settling into my new place, only to realize today that it doesn't export to MP3. So yeah, still love it, but no week one for me.

The full license key is $10 (USD), but I say it's worth it. It's super-easy to learn and the sounds you can make are surprisingly good. You can import and export WAV, and I think with the new version even has controller compatibility.
Watch the video. It'll explain all the features much better than I can.

Don't get hung up on semantics. You'll find events like these in all sorts of artistic field - 48-hour film challenges, game jams, or even comedy improv sessions. No one expects perfectionism. Rather, it's about fueling creativity and dedication.
For some, this will give them a huge library of ideas for inspiration later, like an illustrator's sketchbook. For people such as myself, this is a seriously needed kick in the pants to set aside perfectionism and actually finish something. Oh, and let's not forget fun.
