You can try programs like Sibelius, Reason and Cubase.

The second two require a MIDI keyboard, I think. There are more; but those ones have slipped my mind at the mo :P

Hey bombayboy, been a while mate...:-)

Cubase + Protools will have you making producer level stuff, not easy but worth learning.

if you want to get into serious audio creation and editing, get Pro Tools. It uses its own hardware, and is for both platforms (winXP and mac). It is the industry standard for the tv/film and music industry. An entry level system (mbox2) will run you just under $500. Start with that, then you can invest in other programs more focused on making beats and whatnot.

For the best quality mp3s use EAC (exact audio copy) to rip your audio CDs and LAME to encode them. Follow this guide:

you want to start out with Pro Tools LE. The LE version supports 32 audio tracks and 99 midi tracks, and supports up to 96K/24bit resolution, but keep in mind you need the hardware that supports that as well. For example the MBOX 2 supports up to 28K, but the 002 and 002 rack supports 96k. Start out with the MBOX 2, for the price it is a steal, then you can learn pro tools and if you want you can always upgrade to a 002 in the future, which would allow you to record at higher resolution as well as 8 tracks in/out simultaneously as opposed to 2 and 2 with the mbox. The HD version of pro tools is very expensive...you could get a basic setup for a few grand, but full blown hardware setups of Pro Tools HD can set you back easily $100 grand
