Waveform Free 13

Best Free DAW, no argument.

Totally Free and loads faster than Cakewalk (which has a laggy and cluttered GUI and requires you to reactivate every six months);

Minimum Requirement is so low that Waveform Free can even run optimally on dual core with 1Gig RAM which makes it better than Pro Tools First;

Has Pattern Generator for automatic basslines, chords and Melody creation, which makes it better than Pro Tools in terms of quick MIDI Sequencing;

The ability to load third party plugins makes it far better than Studio One Prime which is so limited that it is useless for producers who uses third party plugins a lot;

No limitations on number of tracks which makes it better than Ableton Live Lite (which allows you to create only eight tracks);

Easy to modulate and automate parameters.

This is the best FREE DAW. Try it out.
