SOME POINTERS WHICH MIGHT HELP:
Pick up a digital audio workstation (DAW). If you're doing everything live you might want to use Audacity. Beyond that, pretty much every digital audio workstation does the same thing beyond how their workflow is organised. They all have free trials so that you can get a sense of which one works best for you! I personally use FL Studio, but other DAWs that I could recommend are Cubase, which is really good especially for editing audio, Live, which is good for doing quick arrangements and mixes, even if you're playing music live, and Logic, which has some fantastic mixing tools out of the box, but is sadly Apple exclusive. As microphones go, pretty much anything can record audio decently once you get the hang of mixing, but for something comparatively quiet, I'd recommend a ribbon microphone like a Royer 121, which I've worked with before, and the quality is absolutely pristine. The only issues are ribbon mics tend to be pretty pricey, and they break if you expose them to loud noises or blow on them (I'm not joking about that, by the way). If they're a way out of your budget, pretty much any mic you can buy at a music store can still give professional results once you get the hang of how to use it, which isn't anywhere near as hard as it sounds. Astartus (who did this and this ) also recommended Melodyne, which, from what I can tell, is fantastic audio correction. As for the act of actually writing music, I'm sorry, I can't help you. I'm a total hack who does almost everything by mistake.
