I have been sent a video clip from our latest gig, but it was taken on a small camcorder and the bass has overloaded the sound. Luckily I have a studio version at the same speed that I can use.

I don't have budget to use one of the packages I usually recommend, so can I do this on a Windows platform using only free/open source software?

Update (I should have included this earlier) - the audio is not the same length as the video, and it does not start in sync.

I have looked at Yamb but it really only works if everything is synchronised before you start.

(Have seen this question, but it doesn't help)

Simply use either Avidemux or FFMpeg(+Avanti). Basically, do a video copy and an audio copy and specify the audio source as your studio version. This assumes that your new audio is in sync and of the same length.

my fault - I'll update the question. The audio is not the same length - nor does it start in sync. – Dr Mayhem Apr 17 '12 at 12:21
Both solutions allow you to specify an audio offset. When exporting, the length maintained is that of the video. So longer audio clips are clipped. – Mulvya Apr 17 '12 at 12:28
In the end I had to use Yamb to strip the audio from my mp4, as Avidemux kept trying to add the two audio streams together, but then I successfully used avidemux with an offset of -2950ms very successfully. – Dr Mayhem Apr 17 '12 at 17:37
And although I got things slightly mistimed - this is how it came out: youtube.com/watch?v=RSP7FTmz7RI – Dr Mayhem Apr 18 '12 at 19:59
