Recording Software Solution

[Envy]

I am looking for a semi-good free piece of software that will allow me to record vocals and play them back (pretty simple).

A friend of mine is looking to record over a few beats he has been working on and the software he is using is simple for editing beats and not recording vocals.

Any suggestions would be helpful .

For windows, Audacity.

Use Aucustica Mixcraft. It's awesome, but there is just a trial. If you feel like investing it is for you.
