Reaper.
There is a free trial version, but the full version is $60 for the license.

+1 to Reaper; you will have to spend significant amounts of cash before you stepped beyond Reaper, and even that is debatable.

+1 to Reaper with a footnote that with some external gear added, you can complete an album recording project from start to end with it withut any hiccup. I am a recording producer and I prefer Reaper to ProTools. More flexible and has a lightning-fast workflow. No stealth data loss. No DAE error#whatever that renders a project useless from that point and so on so on forth. Unfotrunately all big studios use ProTools so I have to live with it too but whenever a project allows working independently or there is apoint where I can detach the project from ProTools, you can be sure there is a Reaper engine under the hood for me.

Re: Good software for amatuer recording?
Are you sure about that? I know PT can be real finicky about which version you are using if you go cross-platform, as well as what licensed plugins you are using...

+1 to Reaper as well. The evaluation version is the same as the full version, and doesn't really expire. They just ask that after 60 days to either purchase a license or uninstall the program. There are 2 licenses for the same software. The discount license is for individuals using it for personal use that is $60 and the full license for professional use is $225. They break it all down on their site.
It's a really great piece of software.

I'm using WavePad, and it's very straight forward with a simple layout.

Re: Good software for amatuer recording?
I have previously used Cakewalk, Sonar, Acid, Audiomulch, and Music Creator. I really record so infrequently that I cannot differentiate between them from the top of my head.
I have not heard of reaper before today. Since no one else posted a link http://www.reaper.fm/
So is Reaper pretty much the concensus for recording cheaply, easily, and with decent quality?

I cannot use his sessions cause he has HD but he can import my LE audio and I think some session data too. We are using macs and fairly old versions of Protools though.

Scratch Wavepad. I got Propellerhead's Reason Essentials, and it's basic, but it's awesome.
