In the world of free sequencer/DAW platforms, there are many contenders and just as many pretenders. MULAB stands out as a platform that delivers and then some. Exceptionally light on system resources and yet lacking nothing in terms of essential functionality, MULAB has become my new best friend; well....new best composition platform. Believe me when I say, "I tried them all..". LMMS looked promising but baffled me with its less than intuitive external keyboard routing which seemed to trigger all channels simultaneously; even after assigning separate MIDI channels to every track! Sequitur was equally alluring with its sexy interface and stripped down simplicity but again external keyboard frustration seemed built into the system. MULAB just worked straight away and the learning curve was refreshingly quick...everything made sense. Moreover, MULAB shipped with a bunch of synths and effects that weren't Casio rejects; no...there was real quality and depth to the instruments - the Hammond B3 was simply gorgeous. Suffice to say that if MULAB doesn't get your juices flowing then nothing in the GPL DAW menagerie will do it for you. The best free composition platform currently available and did I mention that it can be installed on a thumb drive so you can jack your studio into any available hardware...brilliant. (9 out of 10 only because I anticipate that it's just gonna get better)

It's a question to ask not here but on the Mulab forums, there:
A formidable DAW I agree.
I own most of them but I use MuLab all the time.
Modularity: what Live is achieving with M4L and Bitwig "will try" with v2 has been in MuLab for years! Way ahead in the Modular-DAW world race.
I have a problem: every time that i export the composition as an audio file the file that i find in the folder has some interferences or it flickers about every 30 seconds, plz help me.
"...every 30 seconds..."
A little birdie tells me that you haven't entered your serial code, have you ?

A really nice program made even more impressive by a small development team.
A beautiful idea that seems to work for some people. I wish to use MuLab but It appears to me to be missing some crucial features. The documentation is very poor not to mention incomplete. I have yet to find a review from a known site such as sonic state. I am unable to sync this software to anything and unable to get support. J'apprécie les clowns au cirque que je les renvois dans l'entreprise.

I agree that the MuTools documentation could be better and there certainly is a lack of YouTube coverage. However, you have to appreciate that MuTools is a one-man show. FL has a huge user base, famous EDM endorsers and a team of developers / marketing people .. I (for no particular reason) bought FL Studio when I already had MuLab. I much prefer MuLab for many reasons. It's lightweight, good on CPU and extremely powerful once you understand the modules. If there's something you need, there's usually a module which will do it. Problem is.. people don't know this. There's so much to MuLab / MUX. Marketing and awareness is the problem.
Great admiration for a one or even a few man development team. I do have great admiration for MULab creator when I found out he is the founder and only developer. There are pros and cons to a one only developer. I moved on to Reaper and have not looked back. My interest in mostly in a DAWless creative environment. I decided over a year ago that I was not going to try to figure out tutorials that had no sound so I then moved on like others have done.
Fair enough. Reaper is great software. Though, IMHO more suited to bands / audio recording etc. I'm ITB, so MuLab fits me better. That said, Reaper is also a great option.
Yea FL is superior yto most DAWS even the big names.
If I may add, I wanted to use a surface controller, still looking for one which has a small footprint. MUTools, I learned was not up to that :(.

MUX is a fantastic addition to MuTools v8. Love it.
