A good recording multi track interface is what you need! Audacity is a free program! I use cakewalk sonar pro 8 thats a 799$ software program though and it does more than the job! Magix music maker is a great piece! I guess it really depends on what kind of computer you're running too because you can't just plug anything into a comp you could fry the sound card and break you're pc! I would start by choosing an audio interface something like a line 6 pod or plug to play sometimes they have a cheap one at places like amazon or toysrus even its a cable with a usb cord on one end! I would say invest in a great keyboard too so you can do the overlays right on the keyboard then send to final edit! Hope this helps!

If you want to create music and you are looking for the best software I reccomend to buy dr Drum. I found a discounted offer for 39 dollars, while the normal price is more or less 400 I found this offer here: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=542



Dr. Drum is a program with a well designed and intuitive layout. This means you won?t get bogged down with all the technical jargon and confusing buttons and tools. While some believe that when you sacrifice technical difficulty you sacrifice quality, but with Dr. Drum you get the best of both worlds. Almost immediately from the time you download Dr. Drum you can get right down to business letting your musical genius shine. The wealth of tones you have to work with at the beginning is almost mind boggling. You could sit and play for hours and still not even come close to exhausting the possibilities. Add to that the capability to upload your own sounds and you have unlimited creative potential at your fingertips.
