ableton. i use it for much more than recording, but if it's a game boy track i'm finished with, i record it into that, split up the instruments into different channels and go totally overboard with mastering, usually using izotope ozone.
if it's just a quick record for a demo, i use AudioHijack with izotope.

I do the same, except I don't use izotope ozone. Gonna look into that right now.

audacity 4 lyfe
although i'm pretty impressed by reaper's work flow. audacity is free and all but the interface and navigating around a project can be pretty clunky sometimes.

is the cable you are using stereo or mono?
are you using the mic input?
is audacity recording in mono?
is your laptop/computers sound card a peice of crap? (my shitty work laptop only has a mic in for example)

Probably a mono cable.
I'm basically restricted to writing in mono because of that for now.

Most of my stuff never leaves the computer, because I usually just render it straight from the tracker and push the gain until I can hear the clipping in Audacity. For the stuff I actually record, I use a Zoom H2.

Most (newer) laptop soundcards have only mic input (no link) behaving as both - mic and link input.
It is stereo in this cases.
But it depends on each soundcard...
I use this, I'm too lazy to use a proper external soundcard.
I'm using Cooledit BTW

If I'm just gonna be recording solo chip, audacity through the 1/8" mic input is fine idgaf
Recording chip + band we have a tascam dp-008, which is pretty cool.

I was a Pro Tools + Reason guy for a long time. About a year ago, though, I ditched Pro Tools and wen to Reaper which is a very nice DAW. I've been using Reason for many years, though, and it's still my go to program for any type of electronic music.
