You know… really free (no torrents etc allowed 
)
Open Office
i have a soft spot for voxengo boogex which has saved a lot of my guitar parts when i just couldnt get the right tone & had to change the sound after recording them
but best of all is the atomic screensaver this is like giving your screen lsd weve had it for years & it still keeps us all entertaned no one has ever said its time for a new screensaver its diferent every day!
Open office.
Music software? SIR, I think.
Freeamp 3 is worth a grab… just to have some amp sim flavors in your kit.
Wavosaur is a good free editor… My last DAW machine, I installed Wavosaur, BIAB and Reaper. Didn’t bother with Audition.
UJ
I used to use Wavosaur but I have to say I hardly ever use an external editor nowadays.
Might have a look at a few of them amp sim thingyies. My DAW is aging a bit by modern standards (but still takes all I throw at it), but it’s hard to get the latency down enough to use Vsti “live”.
I tend to reach for my J-station if I want a “stock” sound, or actually mic up my guitar cab (gosh, shock, horror!) if I want a “real” sound.
Open Office. Yeah, it’s good (and excellent value) but I have a few copies of MS Office and that’s usually all I need.
Cheers guys, and have a good Christmas etc.

I’m so far behind the latest and fastest computers it’s even hard for me to admit it…
How can I expect to even install and operate the latest plugins and applications and sample software with any degree of stability 
?
Really ?
Bill…
Merry Christmas…
MarkA…
Save some Christmas Dinner for me…
I’ll be right over…

Of course Bill. It's Christmas morning here now. Wife is on the phone to the UK so I thought I'd check in here while I get the chance. Sad? Perhaps.... :-)
Wavosaur IS pretty great. Crummy dither and SRC, but everything else rocks. For SRC, grab another great freebie: Voxengo r8brain.
I’d go with UJ…Freeamp is great!
Computer Music mag just had a special issue in which they collected their fav 99 freebies. Lots of interesting stuff. Not that you need to get the mag to get them.

Hi Marce, I remember you from the “old days”.
That’s a great list of software you’ve posted. I used to have a few apps from the Portable Apps site you mentioned but my day job is totally different now so I don’t need those tools so much.
Mark
yes marc good to see ya
Here is another free loop collection:
PLP loops for anyone interested.
dontcare
Awesome. They are called “urban” loops? Are they rap or whatever? I need a bunch of rap and hip hop loops.
