This is a cool way to compartmentalize your arrangement and remove clutter as this also lets you put MIDI patterns into it. It also comes with a step-sequencer, known as the beat-and-bassline editor in LMMS. The Sequencer (or song arrangement window), isn't too bad in LMMS but it is very basic and doesn't offer a lot of freedom, but it still gets the job done and makes it easy to manage your samples and patterns. There's even Computer Keyboard to MIDI, which means you can play virtual instruments with your computer keyboard as if it was a piano. Oh, and it's even open-source, meaning it has been developed by a bunch of people - which could include you too if you wanted to contribute. it doesn't use much CPU either but, it is a very basic Digital Audio Workstation. With its availability on Windows, Mac, and Linux, it really makes music production accessible to anyone with a computer.

This is a great choice, regardless of the operating system you use.

In case you don't know what a DAW is, it's short for Digital Audio Workstation.Įssentially, it's a host for plugins you download such as virtual instruments and audio effects, not to mention all the audio recording, editing, and arranging you will do. They are all 100% Free, no strings attached.
