Try GarageBand for a while. It might do everything you need. I was surprised by its capability.
Tracktion is an alternative (www.rawmaterialsoftware.com). It's only $80, is really easy and fun to use, and has an impressive feature list. Unlike GarageBand, it can host VST instruments, among other things.
(Although GarageBand can host AU instruments, and Tracktion can't -- at least, not in the current version. For something that can host both types of instruments, you're looking at more money, most notably the upcoming version 4 of Ableton Live.)

Although Garageband hosts AU instruments only, there is a program that converts VST plug-ins to AU plugs called fxpansion http://www.fxpansion.com/I am using Logic Audio and converted several dozen VST plugs to AU without a hitch. When I got Garageband I was pleasantly surprised to find them available (too bad the built-in Logic plugs weren't)
