These are challenging times for everyone. To wit, many vendors have released FREE tools to give folks a chance to use some great music tools for free. Some vendors have created long trial windows in the case where the products are not free. Let’s take a look.

DAW SOFTWARE:
There are a plethora of DAWs to choose from these days. Let’s take a look at the free to try and free to keep.
1.)REAPER: Reaper is one of the most popular daws ever. It’s free to download and then pops up a “nag screen” each time you launch it. You can use the program forever without paying a dime for it. However, it’s good to support folks that make good software. You can get a license for only $60 and never have to see the nag screen again.

2.)LOGIX PRO (Apple Computers Only) now has a 90 Day Free Trial. I LOVE Logic Pro. I’ve used it for years and it remains my fave. However, it’s Mac Only. If you are not a mac person, it’s probably best to go another direction.

3.)PRO TOOLS: One of the most popular choices among pro studios to this very day, Pro Tools (From Avid) has a FREE version called PRO TOOLS FIRST that runs on Mac or PC.

4.)ABLETON LIVE: You can now try Ableton Live for 90 Days as well.

IPAD/IPHONE SOFTWARE
1.)MINI MOOG MODEL D: This is a great app for any Apple mobile device that gives you the classic Moog sound. It’s very fun to just tweak the app and get cool sounds from it. It’s also a good way to get in to programming vintage synths.

2.)IZOTOPE SPIRE: This FREE app for your ios device lets you record vocals using izotope software that actually sound good enough to be used in your home studio. It’s a great little app. Also handy for scratch vocals and for recording a vocal line anywhere.

FREE AMP SIMS
1.)AMPLITUBE CS: The Amplitube Custom Shop is a great way to get started in AMP sims. It’s free forever. It comes with enough gear to get you started and will never cost you a penny. The best part about this is that it’s everything in one plugin. You don’t have to go get four different plugins before you can have a workable guitar tone. If you want to add more amps/cabs/etc. The online store is built in and you can make purchases inside the app. Of course, you can always go get a free amp sim, free cab/ir loader, free effects, etc. Stack them all up and get a tone, or just grab this.

FREE EFFECTS PLUGINS:
1.)T RACKS 5 CS: The FREE version of T Racks Custom Shop from IK Multimedia is a rack of effects plugins that you can use in your daw. It includes several nice bits to get you started. It’s free forever so you never have to pay a penny for it. It follow the same “custom shop” approach as the Amplitube software, so you can always add more to it at any time by using the built in store to purchase various effects.
