Free Software (DAW, VSTi, FX, etc)

[helix eternal]

Wow, this is a lot of great looking software for all being free. I might actually check some of this stuff out. Thanks for posting this! I totally think this deserves to be stickied since it's pretty relevant to everyone's interests.

If I think of some things to add when I'm not tired and out of it, I'll post. Sorry to hear your music pc is dead too

pretty good list, and what i like most about it is that it has some stuff i haven't heard of before. i downloaded TrakAx in a heartbeat, and it's awesome that they're offering a discount on the sample packs =) can't wait to give this a try.

traverso DAW also sounds promising. i am all about the cross plat stuff. i'd be spending more time in linux if it wasn't for ableton live and fl studio and some of the best iidx simulators =/

LMMS 0.4has reached RC2. It's much more stable, and has VST support enabled. Pretty awesome free Fruity-alike.

VSTi Synthesizer and Algorithmic musicsytems by H.G. Fortune

Go download the Avatar ST Free Basic if you haven't already. And if you have, download it again. It's almost criminal that they're giving that thing away; I'm almost afraid to see what the paid version can do. Oh yeah, and there are some other really nice free versions of stuff up there, but seriously: the Avatar ST is possibly the best free pad synth I've ever used. Just watch out for the RAM usage. And use a large screen.

Likewise, some nice freeware VSTs along with their even-nicer paid versions, but the one I'm drooling over right now is the Rez 2.0. Not as impressively huge as the Avatar ST, but it's incredibly versatile and it's got some nice presets. With a bit of tweaking, you've easily got a professional-grade synth. For FREE.
