Music recording/mixing question

[blue1friday2]

My brother is in high school and has a garage band. They have only played at a couple places but they have the obligatory MySpace page. Anyway the recordings that they have sound like garbage and I just wanted to know if anybody knew of some free music recording and mixing programs.

I've heard good things about one called Garage Band... ? Does anyone have any experience with recording music or any suggestions? Thanks!

What kind of recording gear do you have?

I use garageband, reason, cubase, reaktor, drumkit from hell, etc.

How are you trying to record it?

best thing to do is invest in a pro tools setup. =)
