    Any suggestions? Perferably one that can use a dual mic array to cancel out some background noice but not required. and the cheaper the better. :D

    Audacity. It's free.

    As for the dual-mic thing, I think that's in the drivers, not in the audio software.

    This is one of my day jobs (I have not many lol). But everyone swears that the best "free" (you can pay for it, but the shareware has no limits at all), is by far Reaper. The website is Reaper.fm

    Also to record dual mic's. You will need dual mic inputs (mic pre's). So it is more hardware then anyways. And Reaper supports ASIO drivers, so if your hardware supports that, you are good to go :)
