Free music production software??

[Guest Guest]

I know its a long shot but does anyone know of any free production software for windows?

 

I know of a few for linux but would prefer to use windows otherwise the teachers would need to learn an OS before they start learning the software

 

Cheers

Does Audacity do what you want?

[Guest Guest]

No, ta anyhow. Im after production software (to make music) rather than editting.

Never heard of free stuff to fdo this - we use sibelius, quite expensive I thinks.

It's only a gui, and you can make linux look like windows if you want.

sequencer

virtual instruments - synths, samplers, drums machines etc

I have this for recording mixes - can you do much else with it?

Reaper isn't free, but it's about as close as you'll get ($50) for a fully developed music production suite. You can download the fully functioning version for free, but are asked to pay if you use it beyond the 30 day trial period.

 

It doesn't do everything the big name suites do, but it isn't far off. I've been using v1 as a laptop based alternative to Sonar and I've been pleasantly surprised by it's quality and especially the quality of the bundled plugins.

KVR is a good source for info about freeware/shareware audio plugins:

Anvil Studio is the free tool that I use at home.
