DarkWave Studio – FREE Music Making App for PC
Experimental Scene has released a cool little program called DarkWave Studio, designed for the composition, synthesis and recording of music. It’s Windows only, so if you’ve got a PC, be sure to check it out. Plus, it’s two of my favorite things, Free and OpenSource.
If you’re new to music making, this would be a great application for you to help wrap your brain around I/O. With it’s Open Source format, it’s infinitely expandable for the future too. Check it out here.
It is great as a production tool and is also very suitable for live performance. If you have a little knowledge of music composition and sound design you will have no trouble making great music with DarkWave Studio.
