If you're a music producer, sound designer, or into the audio industry, you’re bound to find at least one that can keep up with you.

The best thing about free music production software is that it lets you try out something new and learn the basics without investing a ton of money into something you may not really enjoy.

Don’t take that the wrong way either, Pro’s use free DAWs too.

Each DAW mention in this post will include the following:

The Sequencer, Piano Roll, and Mixer.
Key features of the DAW.
What kinds of virtual instruments, audio effects, and samples are included (if any).
Minimum Computer requirements.

And don't worry, none of these are free trials or restricted. They are all 100% Free, no strings attached.

In case you don't know what a DAW is, it's short for Digital Audio Workstation.

Essentially, 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.

1. LMMS

Midi File Editor

The first one in this top 5 is LMMS. This is a great choice, regardless of the operating system you use. With its availability on Windows, Mac, and Linux, it really makes music production accessible to anyone with a computer. it doesn't use much CPU either but, it is a very basic Digital Audio Workstation.

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. There's even Computer Keyboard to MIDI, which means you can play virtual instruments with your computer keyboard as if it was a piano.

Free Audio Sequencer Software

Key Features:

Light on CPU
64 & 32-bit VST Support (Bridging)
Computer Keyboard to MIDI
No Audio Recording

Included Software:

Virtual Instruments? Yes
Audio Effects? Yes
Samples? Yes

Minimum Requirements:

OS: Windows 7, MacOS X Lion, Linux
CPU: 1.5 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
Space: 100 MB

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.

It also comes with a step-sequencer, known as the beat-and-bassline editor in LMMS. This is a cool way to compartmentalize your arrangement and remove clutter as this also lets you put MIDI patterns into it.

This is what the piano roll (or MIDI editor) looks like in LMMS. It's pretty clean and easy to use, and has a great feature that lets you write any chord.. based on any scale.. with one click.

As for the mixer, it does have the same simplicity but it does come with the basics. And even though it looks dead-simple, it does include the ability to make a send track (or mix bus) just like every other DAW on this list.

The one drawback I found to kind of suck for this DAW is that you can't record audio. But, you can always use Audacity to record that and then import the audio files into LMMS.

2. SoundBridge

At number two we have SoundBridge. This DAW started as Lumit when it was crowdfunded but it has had quite the evolution since then. This one is available on Windows and Mac as both 32 and 64-bit.

Just make sure to download your plugins in the same bit version as the DAW for them to work. So for example, if you downloaded the 32-bit version of SoundBridge, you'll need to download 32-bit plugins.

Key Features:

Works with touch screen
No Plugin Bridging
Hotkey oriented workflow

Included Software:

Virtual Instruments? No
Audio Effects? Yes

Minimum Requirements:

OS: Windows 7 or MacOS X El Capitan 10.11
CPU: 2 GHz
RAM: 4 GB (PC), 8 GB (Mac)
Space: 3 GB

The center of this DAW is its sequencer and is definitely better than the one in LMMS. You get much more control over the tracks and each individual pattern. It's also directly linked to a panel that displays whatever you have selected, making it very easy to adjust an audio file or pattern.

For audio patterns, this includes extremely easy pitch, time, and volume controls to name most of them, but there are a lot for MIDI patterns too.

To write notes in those patterns, the piano roll in SoundBridge is good and lets you change the length of a MIDI note while you draw it instead of after in LMMS. But, LMMS does have some features over this one, as I mentioned with the one-click-chords.

Last is the mixer, and it does have a bit more features than the one in LMMS but they both have their pros and cons. I prefer this one though. And it even comes with a mini-view of the mixer that can be viewed while the sequencer is open.

The only downside is that it bugs you for a donation every time you open the DAW.

3. Ohm Studio

Next up we have Ohm Studio. As far as I know, it has something NO OTHER DAW HAS - Real-time Collaboration.

This means you can work on the same project at the same time with more than one person.. from anywhere in the world. You can also see what anyone is doing in the projects you choose to collab on, real-time.

There's even a general and project-based chat room in the DAW so you can talk to anyone currently using Ohm Studio or only those you are collaborating with.

Key Features:

Real-time collaboration
Can only export to .ogg (.wav in paid versions)
Only 32-bit plugins
Can only save on the cloud

Included Software:

Virtual Instruments? No
Audio Effects? Yes

Minimum Requirements:

OS: Windows XP or MacOS 10.5.8
CPU: Pentium 4 or Athlon 64
RAM: 2 GB
Space: 1 GB

The Sequencer has a bunch of flexibility though, letting you quickly zoom in and out of a pattern or the entire playlist, adjust volume fade points, loop, and resize in both directions. I do think this has a better sequencer than the last two DAWs, but the next one.. it has an impressive set of features.

And with it comes an interesting piano roll to say the least. Being located in each MIDI pattern, inside the sequencer itself, makes it one of a kind. Quite unusual but it's actually not bad at all.

As for the mixer, it is pretty straight forward and the guides
