You have 2 options, the first of which I dont think is nearly as easy.

1. Do what Mr. Dave said and get a decent sound card because thats really whats making it sound good, not the program.

2. (What I use) This option is usually cheaper and works VERY well despite what people may try and persuade you to do. A fast track external audio box like in the picture below will record any thing you can muster up. Mic, piano, guitar, bass and on and on.

This is an M-Audio fast track you can get anywhere for 50-100 bucks. I suggest getting the 100 dollar version because it comes with a very easy to use but solid music editing program (along with thousands of samples).

--On the other hand if your willing to spend money or know your way around the internet you can get a program such as garage band/fruityloops/sonar etc.
