Simple, audio recording app

[DarkShadow]

I've just bought a mic and I want to record a few things, any recommendations for a simple recording app?

I just got hold of Audacity and when I press the record button I receive the following error: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the project sample rate."

I've set my preferences and I still receive the same error

REAPER is an excellent piece of software. Thumbs up, +1 and all that shenanigans to ASIO4All - most handy.

How do I record using that? I selected a new master track and various other options and I can't seem to record! It has also fubarred my sound, its now all distorted and slow mo.

Time to reboot :\
