we're looking at three more of the best free audio recording software for
Windows 10 if you're looking for a free DAW stick around
welcome to simple green tech where we do tips tutorials and reviews to help you
unleash your creativity I'm Radio Zane and this video is
actually part two to our best free audio recording software for Windows 10 in the
last video we looked at three free digital audio workstations and in this
video we're looking at three more free audio software programs for Windows 10
I've linked to all three of them in the description of this video so you can
easily check them out at any time now let's get started first up we have
Presonus studio one prime this is the free version of Presonus' very
popular DAW at the time of recording this it's currently at version 4 and here's
what you'll get with the free Presonus studio One 4 prime unlimited tracks 9
basic effects plugins prescence xt synth plugin a guitar amp simulator plus you
get almost one gigabyte of loops and samples to get you started creating
music right away the interface and workflow is decent and once you figure
it out you'll realize that you can make music pretty quickly with Presonus studio
One 4 prime one of the biggest limitations of studio one is that you can't add
third-party effects or instruments you'll have to upgrade to the artists
version and get the VST add-on or go with the full professional version
moving on to the next free audio recording software for Windows 10 we
have Magix music maker free if you're new to making music magix music maker
free comes with 4 sound pools and 3 instruments sound pools are like loop
packs and each one has a particular style and sound so all the loops will
work together easily I find that MAGIX Music Maker is a
pretty easy program to learn and you get basic effects plugins and a decent
guitar amp simulator just like studio one
MAGIX music maker free does not allow you to use third-party plugins you'll
have to upgrade your version for that and now on to the third piece of free
audio recording software for Windows 10 this is cakewalk by bandlabs now the
first two programs had limitations but cakewalk doesn't have any you can have
unlimited audio MIDI instruments and auxilary tracks in all of your projects
you also get some decent effects plugins included with cakewalk along with a nice
channel strip that has some cool tape emulation and saturation effects
cakewalk by bandlabs also includes a decent guitar amp simulator called th3
you also get three instruments with it a bass guitar instrument that includes a
lot of different sounds for a variety of styles a drum kit that has some grooves
included you also get a piano and a string instrument really you get
everything you need to start making beats and music inside the box and it
isn't going to cost you a thing the only real negative that I have about cakewalk
is that it was a huge pain to get installed on my system it took a number
of tries and installed and uninstall and reinstall and there's not much
documentation in regards to this you have to download the bandlabs assistant
program then go into the app section and install cakewalk from there now here's a
huge tip for you before you decide to install cakewalk now you're going to
have to install the bandlabs assistant and before you run the bandlabs
assistant be sure you right-click on it and run it as administrator this could
help you limit the issues that I ran into the quality of programs that you
get for free is amazing be sure to check out the part 1 video for three other
programs that I consider to be amongst the best free audio recording software
for Windows 10 let me know in the comments below what piece of software
you decided to go with or plan on using or you could also let me know about a
free piece of audio software that I didn't mention in either of the videos
