No, After Effects SUCKS at just syncing clips to the music. You want to do that in something like Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas.

Whenever I use AE (which is admittedly rarely), I make a video in Vegas that's just a letter or something that flashes and fades out whenever there's a sound. I export that and then import it into AE, and use it as a syncher for my effects.
If you're new to editing (and I'm assuming you are), I would highly recommend against using AE at all, much less to edit an entire video.

Not meaning to be a jerk or anything I mean, but my method takes only 1 layer. You just use the asterix key to mark the .WAV file that you've layed down in AE.

Uh... how exactly do you have 1 video layer? Each video clip / image / etc. takes up a layer. The OP wanted to use AE as an NLE - meaning more than one clip would be used.
AE isn't an NLE and shouldn't be used or even thought of as one.

AE is just a noooo. I have it, and hate it without end. Premier Pro 2.0 has simliar capabilities with a more user-friendly environment.

Wait wait wait, ALL AE's don't have razor tools?
