I use Steinberg Cubase. Industry standard really narrows it down to Cubase and Protools these days, although there are a number of cheaper alternatives that will still produce professional sounding results (Adobe Audition, Sonar Cakewalk).

Anyhow, assuming you’re after the best, we’ll return to Cubase and Protools. Both are comparable in quality, but Protools will really break the bank. Plug-ins are also much more expensive if you choose to purchase them after-market. If you can find a nice pre-amp and input devices, I’m sure Cubase will do the trick for you.

Of course, you can get any program for free if you don’t mind breaking the law. People like myself can direct you in that regard.

I’m personally a strong supporter of DigiDesign’s Pro Tools… But you should talk to some audio geeks and get their opinions too. The smartest thing you could do is join an audio forum and community… Forums are great because they’re free and there are tons of people there willing to help you with your questions and also give you advice. Try http://www.audioneeds.com for example.

Hope that helps!

The secret to a good recording is how it is recorded in the first place.
ANY noise removal attempt post recording regardless of the program or method used will have a negative affect on the musical content.
Van Morrison once sacked a member of the studio staff for having keys hanging on his belt – they jingled. Another well known female artist who’s name escapes me wore a dress which created static crackles when she moved. She finished the session in her underwear.
The secret is not to record sounds you don’t want.
The quality of the microphone, it’s positional relationship to the guitar or mouth, the level at which either is recorded and where it is recorded all count towards a good result.
Trade secret:- Always record at the highest level possible without distortion or clipping.
If recorded at too low a level any noise which is present will be increased also if the level needs to be increased at mixdown.

The site has some good tips on home studio recording.
