Free Mac applications
GarageBand
Apple's built-in tool for recording and mixing music. Listed as "free" because it comes with all new Macs. If your Mac does not have it, it's currently around $100 as part of iLife , which is still a good deal for example if you use the included iPhoto application. GarageBand features software instruments, good effects, lots of built-in loops, and an incredibly easy-to-use interface, but has only very limited editing of either audio or MIDI. See GarageBand for a review and a comparison between Audacity and GarageBand.
Commercial Mac applications
Amadeus II
Audio editor, supports AIFF, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis and VST plug-ins.
Audiocorder
Good for long recordings, VOX, or scheduled recordings
Intuem
Originally focused on MIDI, but now has both MIDI and audio features. Very Mac-like interface.
