Many have mentioned Garage Band which is a good basic program, but there is 
also another (free) program called Audacity.  Although I generally use Garage 
Band for recording, I usually finish it up in Audacity.  You can also record 
directly into Audacity just as you can with Garage Band and Audacity is 
available for both Mac and PC.
