Logic's sampler also let's you adjust the speed of a song...which is verra nice.
If you're going to be recording external instruments, you may want to eventually look at an analog to digital interface. Something like the mbox. You can usually find something cheaper though.
A dual channel USB one can be picked up for fairly cheap. I usually don't reccomend USB, but if you're only recording one input at a time, it should work just fine. You can find these for about $150. They'll work with pretty much any recording software out there.
I use logic and the express version has some great bits to it. If you're a student you can get it straight from Apple for about $150 with the education discount.
I comes with a Sampler and a sequencer to make beats with. It does take a little bit to learn it, but I believe that it's a very good deal and could do what you want.
I'm not familiar with any other recording software for OS X, but then again, when I got the my MBP, it's main purpose was to run Logic for a studio.
