Making Simple Midi Backing Tracks Options

[macmonkey]

in your expert opinions, what would be a suitable choice of software for creating midi backing tracks? I want to 'record' the drums and bass (to begin with) to play along to with my guitar.

I'd like something simple and as cheap (or free) as possible to start with, just to experiment. OS9 or X.

I want to make tracks of specific songs rather than just play along with a style "à la band in a box".

Anyone help please?

thanks

Take a look at Apples Gararge Band, it may be all you need. Otherwise I suggest Logic Express.
