Artist looking to begin recording.

Hello all. I have written several songs. I have recorded them using a voice recorder, and edited them in Audacity. As you can imagine, they sound terrible like this. I want to try and get a more professional sounding recording, something I could be really proud to show off, and maybe even sell. However, it does not have to be perfect. I play guitar, bass, and sing.

So, I have three questions for you all. First, what is a good but fairly cheap program for recording, mixing, and editing my music? Second, what is a good microphone for recording clean singing, bass, and guitar playing? Should I even use a mic for my bass and guitar, or should I record those directly into my computer?

If it helps you, my actual guitar/bass equipment is all high quality, with a Gibson Flying V, Spector Bass, and Boss ME-70 all in my arsenal.

Thank you for any help you can give.
