Music making freeware

Can anyone recommend any good music making freeware? I use
Buzz from time to time, but am interested in anything else
that might be out there, esp something for loop creation.

There's plenty of good stuff that's free, take Mozilla for
instance.

Coagula Light v 1.5 is a bad ass program I use from time to time
to create hellish atmospheres. It's a Color-Note Organ that
creates sounds by importing, and/or creating .bmp image
files then converting them to .wav sound files. It reads the
image data as sine waves and plays back the file after the
conversion. It's pathetically easy to use and you can create
some really whacked out sounds if you experiment with it. It
was also just updated last month. There's also
GranuLab 1.0, which makes sound in real time by generating
masses of sound "grains". I've got this one too, but I don't
think I've really messed with it that much. (I've got so
many different programs I use already)

"It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking
are so much alike. In fact you could say music is another
way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of
music." -Ursula K. Le Guin

Try to get hold of Muzys, a freeware sequencer with VST
support. I think it's downloadable from
www.computermusic.co.uk.
Then visit http://www.kvr-vst.com and look for the 'free
section'. You have plenty of choice in vst instruments &
effects. Softsynts, samplers,... anything you want really.
There's also the Soulseek or Kazaa way. In that case, search
for the Absynt vsti, a killer app.

i'd recommend Kazaa. get Reaktor 3. VST synths piss me off.
I know a lot of people lie them but I find the incredibly
annoying. Still, if thats what you're after then you'll get
them on Kazaa too.

VST is a fileform developped by Steinberg (developpers of
the Cubase range). To be short, they're virtual effects and
instruments you can edit your audio and midi with. There are
quite some good things on the market. The FM 7, Absynth, Pro
53. Those are also standalone applications (vst's are
normally plug ins you have to use in ghostprog. (wavelab,
cubase, muzys(free one). You can tweak your tunes to
whatever you like.

"now i have to be silly and ask, what exactly is VST?"

It's a plugin standard for software synthesisers and FX so
you can use them in different programs which are VST
compatible

I forgot to mention that there's quite a difference between
VST Plugins and VST Instruments. THe plugin is in most cases
a tradional effect but with lots of tweaking posibilities.
This is used on audio files (or midi through a VST
Instrument).
VST Instruments are mostly used with midi. To keep it
simple, it takes the midi and take it through a virtual
synth. Its a possibility worth checking out.
I hope I enlightenend a bit in this matter. ;-)
