Anyone know of any free music software?

Question

Just been creating more songs on my piano and just wonderd if anyone knows of free music software that will help me to edit my music and so forth. Thanks

Answer 1

First, decide whether you want to get the music from Amazon or iTunes. If you would like to use Amazon MP3, make an account at http://amazon.com . For iTunes, download it from http://apple.com/itunes .



Although both of these sites nomrally charge you money for their music, there are sites that will offer free iTunes or Amazon gift cards for completing set offers, including surveys and tons of advertisements.



I use one of these types of sites. It's a search engine type thing, where sponsors pay the site for their results to appear and you in turn can get free stuff for using their search engine. If you are interested in this, I put a video below telling about the site. It is important to note that this is in no way immediate, this can take several weeks, however, it is only a few minutes a day of doing searches, which you probably do anyway. You can eventually redeem for iTunes cards or Amazon cards for Amazon MP3.

Answer 2

If you want to type and print your composition as sheet music, try:

GNU LilyPond http://lilypond.org/

G Sharp http://common-lisp.net/project/gsharp/



Audacity, as another post mentioned, can edit recordings you make with a microphone.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/



If you have an electronic piano, you might find Rosegarden very useful. It has some of the features of the other programs, but it is a sequencer for editing the notes you actually play on your piano, over a MIDI cable.

All of these are free as in beer, and free as in speech.
