I use mostly two programs, ModPlug Tracker and Audacity. I always compose the songs by making simple drum tracks the with tracker and then make the guitar riffs and melodies on the top. When doing the final versions, I of course play and record real drums first and after that I record every other instrument one by one.
Audacity is simple to use and has all the functions I'll ever need, works perfectly for me. "If it ain't broken, why fix it?"
I've been fooling around with trackers and tracker music since I was a kid, started with Impulse Tracker and then finally moved to ModPlug Tracker. I'm quite familiar with this software. It counts as a drum machine and as a synthesizer as well. Convenient.
I don't think the recording software counts as much as the recording equipment. You can't expect top notch studio quality, if using a crappy microphone for example.
