FL Studio 11. Mixcraft 6. Whats the Average-ish price for recording studio time. The important thing to know though, is that it takes MANY, MANY, MANY hours to record a song.
Like, on average, for a non-professional band, perhaps 10-30 hours per song. Ten being on the extremely short side, and really more like 50 hours including mixing, and this is not taking your time, fooling around, etc. It's a very time-consuming process, and most newbies don't know that, so they go in, expecting to spend a few hours to get a song or two down, and they are quickly in over their heads. There are lots of reasons, mostly though, it's the multitracking-overdub process, which is what you ALWAYS do when recording. Remember, TIME IS MONEY IN THE STUDIO.
