Via del.icio.us I came across a guide on installing: JACK, Ardour & Hydrogen on a mac. I was not quite sure what each of the applications were but quickly found out at their respective websites; Jack Audio Connection kit, Hydrogen a Drum Machine and Ardour Digital Audio Workstation.
Jack basically lets you connect the programs Hydrogen and Ardour together.
The above guide seems slightly aged, so do checkout the individual application websites before trusting the guide blindly. (It seems like you can possibly download pre-compiled binaries.)

These applications probably don’t compete aggressively with applications like ProTools, SoundTrack or other fast track professional apps. However when you take into account money, Jack Ardour and Hydrogen appear to be worthy candidates. For an online web application alternative there is JamGlue.
