I used to have a sequencer program called Cubase Lite that I loved. It was simple and easy to operate. I was using an old mac performa so quality audio wasn't an option. Later I bought an IMac running OS9.2. My old Cubase Lite program woudn't work because it didn't allow for USB ports. I thought with my new machine would allow for some audio tracks, so I bought a program called Cubasis, which appeared to be about the same as Cubase Lite but also had digital audio features. To my dismay, this program still would not work with USB. I contacted Steinberg and they advised that I needed to upgrade to VST, which was more than I wanted to pay. This was about 3 years ago. I've tried Pro Tools Free Version, but thought it way to complicated. Since then I have abandoned my computer and went back to my old cassette 4 track exclusively. Surely now there is an entry level product that will do midi and record a track or two of audio without a huge learning curve.
My equipment is:
IMac OS 9.2 w/plenty of disk space, but no writeable CD
Korg X5D synth
Tascam 4 track
1x1 USB midi port
Some good mikes
Music will be all acoustic, folk/bluegrass/gospel type stuff.
Would use midi mainly for occasional drums and keyboards.
Would like to be able to record at least 2 mono tracks or one stereo pass at the time.

What software do you reccommend for less than $100?

Download Metro 6 demo and give it a try the SE version is $69. Runs on MacOS X. Haven't tried it, don't know anyone who has, but if you like the demo, then the price is definitely under your budget. And apparently it supports VST so you can use all those wonderful plugins that we all like :D
