    Default What is some good free mixing software?

    Looking to experiment with some tunes and tracks. Dubstep is 1st on the list just because I have a friend who enjoys it so what's some good, free mixing software? Any drum machines out there?

    third

    And if you aren't afraid of linux I'd recommend hydrogen. It's ported to mac/windows but the linux version is more stable IMO

    For some reason I think he means a DAW no? Chatting about drum machines... Are there any good free DAWS?

    Every DAW has a perfectly usable demo. Some, like Reaper, are unlimited and can be used even after the 2 month trial ends.

    I pieced together a pretty fun and totally free DAWesque setup in Linux a few months ago before I switched back to win7 & ableton.

    Harmonyseq was the sequencer I used to control everything.
    Nekobee was my favorite synth and I always had a couple of them ready to go.
    Fluid synth is good, and if you install ubuntu studio it comes with a bunch of pretty cool synth plugins
    Used hydrogen for drums. (there is currently a bug in hydrogen that stalls it for a bit if you change patterns, so i just sequence them in harmonyseq.)

    Jackrack or rackarack for effects (I prefer jackrack)
    audacity for recording
    Patchbay for changing up the audio flow

    "Studio One Free" gives you a lot of features for free. Definitely worth a try!
    The "fingerlab DM01" is a nice drum machine app for IOS devices. It's free as well!
    The NI trio - Traktor Kontrol S4 - Maschine - Komplete - and some more gear...
