They do have a low cost version.

Dgidesign's ProTools is the standard in the industry

4. Well for starters, there is GarageBand, which comes with iLife (50.00)

May have come with your mac -- probably did.

Very fun, very easy to use, may be all you need -- includes MIDI, a bunch of great sampled instruments, and audio recording.

For Pros, MacWorld has reviewed the big three recently - Logic Pro, Cubase, and Digital Performer. Digital Performer to me is the easiest to use.

Here's the Digital Performer review -- there are links to the others on the right hand side:
