Stop now and don't get involved with music recording. Once you get started, it's like a drug, you need newer and more expensive equipment to just make it sound that much better. I feel like a heroin junkie. ugh

There is little difference in audible quality once you get above 48Khz sample rate and you will kill most computers with 16 tracks playing back at a 96k sample rate. You will however, want to record at 24bit depth. The difference between 16 and 24 bit with regards to audio quality is always incredible.The Doctor wrote:It's all a matter of personal preference really. I use Steinberg Nuendo.
But either way, get a good audio interface, preferably PCI. Don't try to just use a consumer grade 24/96 Best Buy sound card.
I have a M-Audio Delta 44 sound card and recording interface. If I bought a new card, I'd probably opt for something with built in preamps for each channel. Also you will want a decent preamp, compressor, and EQ. Not to mention microphones, Shure SM57, the standard for micing guitar cabinents. $$$ I told ya not to get involved.
But you asked about software. Propellerhead's Reason for drums, Adobe Audition 1.5 for tracking instruments/voice, sometimes Sony Sound Forge. You will also want to invest heavily in some quality VST plugins, Waves, etc. Software costs $1000+ for what I have. However you could probably pirate it all.
Recording guitars: save time, money and headache by getting a Line 6 Pod. Check out some of Scrotal_Tug's pod samples, you will agree that you can't get much better with traditional gear.
