I use Cooledit. All ya need is some headphones and a microphone and you've got a 64 track digital recorder. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of features but it's great for the simple shit I do.

I've heard Cakewalk is supposed to be pretty good as well.

Yeah, I use Cakewalk Pro. It's pretty cool, u can record, cut and paste, and it has some drum samples in it. It's midi, but whatever. U can record live sound into it though w/ the midi. I like it, and good sound quality also, I have a Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum w/ the front plate thingy, so i can just plug my basses/guitar into the front 1/4 inch jack just like an amp.

I futzed with Cakewalk for a few minuets and I found Cooledit to be much easier.
I'm not sure if Cooledit has drum tracks built in, I just use my bongo's or the drums on my keyboard. I was thinking about plugging my amp into my sound card, but I'm not a big bitch about quality and since I have a lot of instruments without pickups I decided to just buy a really nice microphone.

alright, i'll check em both out. the reason i would like a drum machine rather than live drums is mainly cause of cymbal variation and snares and bass sounding. i know i could buy the ever versatile jimbe to play on thru a mike, but it don't give cymbal sounds on it. still i'll try em out, see what i can do. thanks for the input!

You could simulate cymbols with a keyboard. Most of them have at least one percussion setting with various drums and cymbals. Otherwise I"m sure you could use some other drum machine software and so long as you can save it as a .wav file you can import it and loop it in Cooledit. Still Cooledit might have a drum plugin or something I just haven't found yet, like I said I stick to the simple features.
