What is the best program to record music on your computer?

I’m looking for something that has good recording sound quality so I can record music from my keyboard in the same room and get good quality.

Is there a way to record vocals and instrumentals separately then put them together so you can get the same sound quality out of both?

The quality largely depends on how you record rather that what you record with.
This free app, Audacity is a good start.
It’s a multi-track audio recording and editing program.
You record for example, a drum track then add a keyboard track and finish off with the vocal track.
They are then mixed to produce a finished result.
Tip: Record at the highest level possible without distortion. This is the method used in all recording studios.
If recorded at too low a level if the tracks volume needs to raised in the mix electronic and other intrusive noise will be raised also leading to lack of clarity.
The multi track method needs to be user set.
Go to Edit / Preferences.
On the Audio I/O tab check "play other tracks while recording new one".

Here’s a guide for home studio set ups.
