what do you want to do with your music software exactly?
record stuff or make music inside the computer or both?

Actually, if you go here...

You can search for various different types of progs, and you'll whether they are free or whether you have to bust a crack into the program.

try that website and it has a section under 'multitrack recording'. check out the write-ups for the softwares they mention for your particular platform (eg windows xp). there's a lot of choice there. otherwise, do a google search for 'Abode Audition' (formerly called CoolEdit), see if it's what you need then download the demo...once you're fine with the demo, let me know. CoolEdit is cool. And you can edit stuff, but really it's cool for starters.

erm, i dunno. that raxxemathingy stops really hungry people from eating the mic, but also has the added benefit of preventing unwanted breath noises and such. I eat mic myself so maybe one of the other guys here could tell ya whether it's really necessary if you're gonna be speaking down a tube.

Really it depends on what you wanna do. You want to record yourself playing instruments? Midi instruments? Essentially all you need is a computer, some software and the right cables to record something.
