This can be as simple as keeping a record of your playing on your phone or ipoad using the Voice Memos feature all the way to self recording your own album. (like I did here)
More professional yet simple recording options include;
Apple devices - Garageband (free on Mac, iPad & iPhone) or Logic and Pro Tools for professional recording.
PC software includes Audacity (free) and Cubase or Protools for professional recording on PC.
