After you gain some knowledge & skill & want to get more serious, search YouTube for reviews to see what suits your goals or style: Logic, Sonar, ProTools, are some of the main ones.
[quote=NickFerra]Someone said I should get an interface from Focusrite or presonus. Can you record the backing track on them as well as your guitar?
Those are good interfaces for plugging your guitar or a mic (if you mike your amp) into your computer to capture audio. But it depends on how you intend to create or use backing tracks.
If you are going to use pre-made backing tracks, then you just need to get the audio file imported into a DAW. That's a matter of getting the wave file or MP3 & selecting import file in the DAW. You don't need any other tools for that.
But if you are going to record the bass, drums, other instruments, then yes an interface like Focusrite will be very beneficial to capture good clean audio in a digital format for use in a DAW.
Do you have any experience recording? Recording with DAWs?
