Hello!
I am interested in making music for my game. I don’t know what program/software to use. Does anyone have any suggestions on some free music programs?
(I use Windows 10.)
Thanks!

Hi,
I have no idea, but I know GD Quest does: 6 Amazing Programs I Use to Make Music: Free Software
Thanks! I’ve seen the beginning of the video but was disappointed when he said they were Linux-only. Sorry I didn’t mention that I use Windows.

Yes, he said Linux, but “They all work on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.”

Ohhh. I must have misunderstood him. Thanks for the suggestion!

Use LMMS - an open source DAW.

I’m using Waveform (Paid) from Tracktion.
But there is also a free version, where you can use VST instruments, plugins and audio files.
It’s worth a try:
Waveform Free is the world's best, fully featured, completely unlimited free DAW for all music creators. Mac, Windows, Linux.

I know you asked for free, but if you want vst3 LMMS is not for you.

Hello,
I'm re-opening issue [#2352](https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/2352)
… It was from 2015, it was a copy-paste, and today, in 2018, the context is different.
**Context :**
On the 1st Oct 2018, Steinberg stopped suporting VST2.
What does that means ? (The way I understand it, based on [this topic](https://forum.juce.com/t/steinberg-closing-down-vst2-for-good/))
- For devs who have a license : they can freely release new VST2 plugins.
- For devs who don't have a license, unfortunately, they are not allowed to distribute VST2 in any ways, and they CAN'T ask for a license.
Since may, I'm working on a big project, a free EDM synthesizer, using Cabbage framework..
Unfortunately I can't release it as a VST2, because I'm too late in the game...
The only way I will be able to distribute it is by the form of a VST3, [which support GPL3 licensing](https://sdk.steinberg.net/viewtopic.php?t=286).
**Request**
- Implementation of VT3 support for LMMS
I think it would be a really good improvement for LMMS, and I'd be pleased if my plugin could be compatible with the DAW I use.
Unfortunately, my knowledge to add this support is I think, too limited to lead the project, but I would be pleased to help & learn, so if you guys have knowldge about it, feel free to share it here so I can learn how it works in the same time (I know some devs have solid knowledge on this field, and would be interested to implement VST3 support for LMMS)
Thanks in advance,
https://ardour.org It,s free if you can compile your self 6.5+ support vst3 on Windows (don’t know about vst3 in self compiled)
Cheap but not free and opensource
