I have a question... what software should I use if I want to record sounds using a microphone ? I tried some programs, but they don't record the sound at a higher quality and I need to record at a very good quality. Does anyone know a good software for recording ?

Being that I was a Professional Musician for over 20 years and have done studio work, I can tell you from first hand experience...that you will never get the same quality of sound using a computer as you do in a studio using a 32 track tape machine and mixing board...
There is software out there that "tries" to do this, but you will only get so good of results...
Sony's ACID PRO, & Adobe Audition are two that are decent for computers...
Keep in mind, the mic you use will make all the difference in the world when it comes to the quality of sound and frequency range it has...
The more high end (Expensive) the mic is the better for studio work...these "studio" mics usually run anywhere from $500-$1500 a piece...reason being why they sound so good in the recordings...
The bottom line mic I'd use for vocals would be a Shure SM58 for home recordings.

the software doesn't make the recording better the hardware does. you need high end preamps and interfaces to get the best quality. you should get a soundblaster audigy 2 or better sound card at the very least, even though it's not professional quality, but it's good enough for home recording
Software:
cakewalk sonar
steinberg
logic
protools
ableton

It isn't the program that is faulty. It sounds like you don't really know what you are doing. You need a good microphone (not your computer mic), a good pre amp (for that microphone), good analog to digital converters (soundcard), and good speakers (not some home audio crap) to listen to what you recorded and fix what needs fixing in post production.
Ps. MUffIN, I don't really agree with you. Digital can sound as good as tape. You just have to warm it up first. NIce SSL, Neve, or MIdas pre's really help.
In the end, it's all gonna be digital anyways (CD, MP3... whatever).

Google for: studio quality audio recording software
You may also need studio quality audio hardware, like a microphone, etc.
