you can also bring in third-party   vst plugins and if you don't know what those are they can be instruments or effects that other   developers have created so you aren't limited to using what comes stock with traction waveform free   even though the effects and the instruments are decent you're still going to want some variety   and you can have that here i'll link to a video down in the description with 50 free vst plugins   and you can see what's available to you for free there's some great stuff out there now traction   waveform free is a great starting point and it can be the one that you stick with as it has some   great pro features in it as well so there's no need to move on to another daw or daw and you may   hear me use those terms and what that stands for is digital audio workstation and that's typically   what the music making software is referred to as so this first option tracktion waveform free   should really be something that you give a try and see if it works for you and your workflow next up   is another free daw that isn't limited this is soundbridge so you can have unlimited tracks and   also add your third-party vst plugins and like i said there's tons of great ones out there for both   instruments and effects and soundbridge does include some decent effects and probably the best   free drum machine plugin out there seriously this thing can be great for so many different   styles of music not just electronic styles it also includes several drum kits with it so you   can start making beats right away the user interface of soundbridge makes it very easy   to start creating music from easy access to the piano roll mixer and recording features

  this one is also available in 32-bit and 64-bit options so if you're looking for a 32-bit daw   soundbridge might be the choice for you as there aren't too many 32-bit options out there right now   if you start creating music and you're feeling good about it you're going to want to release   your music so why not get it in the same places where your favorite bands have their music like   Spotify, iTunes, Tidal, Amazon all of the major online music stores DistroKid makes this process   super easy and they give you 100 of the royalties plus they give you some unique features like   claiming your verified artist badge on spotify and you can also get your official artist channel   on youtube and this is all included for free with your annual membership which is just twenty   dollars per year and if you use the link down in the description you're going to save seven percent   on that so be sure to click on that and save yourself some money so you can start releasing   your music and make money and another big bonus of DistroKid is once you become a member you're going   to find that you're going to want to create more music so you can release more music as DistroKid   allows you to release unlimited tracks per year which is very nice so for twenty dollars you can   release as much music as you like and for free you can get all of these great programs to create   the music now let's look at some more of these great free doll programs the next one on the list   is cakewalk by banlab

Free Music Making Software That Doesn't Suck On Windows para #3

 this is another unlimited digital audio workstation that is packed full   of pro features and that's because this used to be a premium paid for program but bandlab   purchased it from the gibson guitar company and decided to make it available to musicians for   free and they continue to upgrade it and even add more features too so you can have as many tracks   as you like both midi and audio and it also comes with a lot of useful effects and even some decent   instruments as well the included guitar amp sim is very nice and it competes with some of the   high priced options that are out there so if you're a guitar player this one will give you   a great starting point along with a drum kit to program some drums and all of the effects that   you might want the interface can be a little clunky so the workflow isn't as smooth as   some of the other options but there are a lot of customization options that are built into cakewalk   so you can make it look the way that you want and i've created several songs in this software   and continued to use it and i haven't felt like i was limited in any way all right moving along but   hey if you're enjoying this video so far please give it a thumbs up it really helps my channel   out and i appreciate it so much now the next free music making program on the list is LMMS   if you've heard of the popular software called fl studio this one is a lot like that in terms of the   workflow it's very easy to start making music in lmms

Free Music Making Software That Doesn't Suck On Windows para #4

 if you're using virtual instruments but a big   drawback is that lmms does not allow you to record audio into it so it may not be ideal if you plan   on recording real world instruments or vocals however you can record audio in another program   and then bring it into it so you're not completely limited to virtual instruments LMMS does come with   some virtual instruments and effects plugins but you're going to want to add some third-party ones   to give you more variety you can use your computer keyboard to control instruments if   you don't have a midi keyboard yet and of course you can use a midi controller if you do have one   or the other option is to create and edit all of your midi in the piano roll by clicking with your   mouse which is a very popular way to do things in this program as you can do that very quickly   now some of the pros of lmms are it's easy to sequence music similar to fl studio's workflow   and it allows you to use third-party plugins the big con is the lack of audio recording   within the program itself now the next piece of free music making software is akai mpc beats   this one gives you a workflow that's very similar to working on a hardware mpc but with the added   benefit that this is in the software world so editing can be a little easier if you have a midi   controller with pads on it this can be a great daw for you as it integrates with pads very nicely   and you can see on the screen you have your pads here but you can also create beats with your   mouse just by drawing them into the piano roll or use your midi keyboard to play the notes in   mpc beats can be very easy to use and if you want to record audio you can do that too but you only   get two audio tracks per project and speaking of tracks you can only have eight instrument tracks   in a project so a total of 10 tracks which is quite a few for beat creation once you get used   to the workflow it's very quick to start making music and mpc beats and it includes some great   kits and synths but you can also bring in your own third party vst instruments too   plus mpc beats includes over 80 quality effects plugins but just like instruments you can also   bring in your own vst effects it's still fairly new and continues to get better with each update   and if you're a beat creator this one should be on your list of free daws to check out alright so now 

  let's look at those two bonus options and i'll tell you why each one is a bonus and the first   one is reaper this one is not free and that's why it's a bonus but like the winrar program that you   likely have on your computer you can continue to use the demo of reaper completely unlocked   long after the trial period ends and i think the trial period is like two months so that's a huge   length of time to try it but after the trial there's a screen that pops up for five seconds   each time you start the program and it just reminds you that the trial is over and you should   purchase a license and if you do end up sticking with this program definitely support the developer   so they can continue to upgrade the program to make it better for you now with reaper you get   a very powerful digital audio workstation that really competes with the big names so you have   all of the features that you would expect like unlimited tracks third-party vst support plus it   comes with tons of effects as well and these are very useful effects that it comes with   you don't get any instruments but like i said you can bring in third-party plug-ins so that's not   really a problem i found reaper to be an easy daw to switch to from pro tools as the workflow was   fairly similar so if you're thinking of working with pro tools you could learn on this and likely   wouldn't get too lost when you're going into pro tools reaper is a great powerful option that's   worth checking out the next bonus option is our door the reason why this one is a bonus again is   because it's not free unless you compile the code for yourself so technically it is a free   program but if you're like me and you don't like to compile software or even know how to do that   you can pay as little as one dollar and you can get the full program our door has no limitations   so you get unlimited tracks buses sends inserts or whatever and it also has a pretty advanced   routing system if that's something that you're in need of it does come with a handful of plug-ins   but you can bring in your third-party vst plugins as well the interface is similar to pro tools   but has its own are door twists if you're looking for that familiar layout editing and mixing style

 then you might want to give our door a try now here's a bit of advice to get you started   what i recommend doing is downloading two or three of these programs and give them a good try to see   what workflow and user interface really works for you so i recommend trying to create a beat   in each one that you download or a part of a song if you're not a beat creator and really give it a   good try to see what the program's all about and then you should have an idea of which one   you might want to stick with and when you do find that program that you want to stick with   stay with it try to learn as much of it as you can and then you're eventually going to get to a point   where you're just making music you're not fiddling with the user interface or trying to figure out   how to do something you're just creating music and everything becomes instinctive and you want to get   to that point all of these programs are going to have a learning curve to them so don't think   that there's one that's easier than the other they all have a learning curve so try to get over that   learning curve stick with it and then you're going to be rewarded as you'll start to create music and   you're going to feel good about creating music but you can also release that music like on distrokid   and start making money so it's rewarding that way as well now if you want to check out 25 free vst   plugins click up here or click down here to see what youtube recommends
