The thing is that I would want the program to be able to playback what I have already recorded down so that I can listen to that as I record something on top.

Also I wanted to ask if there are programs that can provide various effects,ambience for instance,or if there are programs that have loop function.
Reaper has built in effects, however there are some great freebies available also that you can use within Reaper. Here is a list of the freebies that I have personally used. Some of these are VERY good and still get used along side my commercial (not free) effects.

Furthermore,if any programs come with a drum machine...
I don't think Reaper has a drum machine built in (I could be wrong though), but you could probably find a decent freeware VSTi drum machine on google.

I don't ever use drum machines, so I can't comment on any good ones. Sorry.


Also, in addition to the tutorial si16 posted, I have one more Reaper tutorial here:
Computer Recording Software - Getting Started

Hope that helps.
