    I used to do quite a bit of recording, even worked in a studio for a little bit.

    Used to use protools for everything, now I've gone back to basics and just use Garageband which is actually pretty good as a starting off point for recording.

    I have a usb midi keyboard so I can play in bass/keyboard parts etc. It also has loops if that's your thing and it's super easy to create your own
    But I tend to just use mics and plug them into my mac via a USB soundcard. I mainly record acoustic guitars and mike up guitar amps etc. It becomes really easy to layer up tracks and build up quite a good quality sound.

    If you're looking to start 'proper' recording then get into garageband, then Logic and bit of protools.

    I wouldn't invest in expensive mics etc until you're really serious. They depend on what you're recording, eg a set of drum mics are pretty expensive!
