I want a program with better ounds than Garageband, one that's
Mac-compatible, and that's as easy as possible to use, and not over
about $200.

I'm considering Logic Pro X, but I read a few review by users who had
crashes with the new version, so I'm not sure about that one.

I tried leasing East West Music's Composer Cloud's Goliath collection,
but the accompanying program, called Play, doesn't allow for
multi-track recording.


Check out Studio One Prime (free)



From their web page, Prime appears to be stereo I/O only, and OP
specified multi-track recording. Of course many confuse true
multi-track with virtual tracks though so only he knows for sure.


What's the difference between 'true' and 'virtual' multi-track recording?

Even though I don't know what 'true' multi-track recording is, I don't
think there's any meaningful difference, because with virtual
multi-track recording I can make songs that incorporate multiple
instruments' sounds, which is what I want to do.

and Reaper (cheap).


A pretty good choice at the price.
