If you are just getting started recording digital audio Audacity is a free program that will let you get up and running quickly. The following is a quick guide for getting started. I've actually had better luck with the newer beta version than the "stable" version. You can download Audacity here.

1. Plug in your microphone via usb, the mic in on your sound card, or a usb or firewire audio interface.
