Max is good for this kind of work, but it's really a very general 
purpose toolkit - it's essentially a software development environment 
with a data-flow approach and a strong signal and logic processing 
library. If you want something quick, this is not the tool for you.

Look at PureData (PD) as a free alternative to Max. If PD doesn't work 
for you, Max most likely won't either.

What exactly do you want to achieve? Would it make sense to find a 
collaborator instead of doing it yourself? Video is just as involved as 
music.
