Top 3 Best Free Music Making Programs
Music making programs are extremely expensive. Since they are mostly used for professional purposes, this fact is not so strange. If you are just starting to make music or want to do it as a hobby, honestly, you should not even think about buying these programs.
Still, we have a lot of free programs of this type, but they often have limitations that make using them more of a trial before you buy the full version, than something you will actually use. Fortunately, we also have programs that provide users with enough options to realize their musical ideas, without the artificial limitations that are there to make them pay for the program. That’s why we’ve made a list of the top 3 best free music making programs.
Audacity
Audacity is a free music making program available for Windows 7, 8, 10, Linux, and macOS. If you need a program that is a combination of music production software, electronic music program, and technical processing of audio data, this is probably the best free option, and it is also suitable for beginners.
With Audacity, you can process samples, process audio files, and save them in all popular audio formats, including MP3, WAV, AIFF, and more. It lacks some of the options we find in paid programs of this type, but even so, the options it contains are quite sufficient even for professional users.
The user interface is simple and functional. We have said that Audacity is suitable for beginners, but we must note that if you have absolutely no prior knowledge in this area, it will take you a few days to understand what each option does. We suggest you use the internet for learning. Since Audacity is a popular program, you can easily find a lot of free tutorials on YouTube.

Windows 7, 8, 10, Linux, and macOS
Waveform
Tracktion T7 is a premium program for music production. When the new version of this program came out, the company that made it did something we almost never see in the software industry. It changed the name of the old version of the Tracktion T7 program to Waveform and released it as a free program. That is how we got an audio production program that has the most options of all the programs on this list. Waveform is available for Windows 7, 8, 10, Linux, and macOS.
Unlike Audacity, Waveform is not a beginner’s program, though it’s not that difficult to use. Due to the great user interface, which can be adapted to the needs of the user, navigating is quite simple. Since this is another popular program, there are a lot of free tutorials on the Internet, so we encourage you to use them.
If you want to download this program, please note that you must first register and create a free account. When you install and run the program, it will say that it is in demo mode. Click on the “Unlock” option, log in to your account, and the full version of the program will be unlocked.

Windows 7, 8, 10, Linux, and macOS
LMMS
LMMS is a free music making program available for Windows 7, 8, 10, Linux, and macOS. This is a program that is suitable for making all types of music, as well as music production and stands out because it supports a large number of plugins for effects and virtual instruments.
One option we particularly liked was the ability to integrate with other music making programs. Namely, when you want to save your work you can save it in all popular formats, such as MP3, AIFF, WAV, and others. However, there is an option to export media files directly to another music program. A phenomenal option if you use another program for, for example, audio production.
We liked the look of the user interface the most of all the programs on this list. LMMS is suitable for beginners, but as with all programs of this type, if you have no experience at all, you will need to learn what each option does before you actually start using the program.
