What free music creation program should a beginner choose to embed the resulting compositions into commercial products for free?

Question

Audio

OS: Linux, Windows.
It is desirable, but not essential, that the program be easy to learn.

Answer 1

Search for "free daw" keywords. Maybe something will come up.
I would recommend something like tracktion (they have a rule: version -1 is always free)
Why it is: quite new on the market for this software, so it "travels" on all new features, not as conservative as some (read - convenient) . Works under Windows and Linux, which is important. If there is a desire or money, it will be possible to purchase a paid version (and not much relearn).

Answer 2

What do you pay for when you purchase professional music production software.
1. Professional sound. If the music does not sound, then it is just a meaningless set of notes.
2. Professional sound processing tools. In no free program you will find an equalizer with real-time frequency response visualization, for example.
3. Libraries of ready sounds and presets. They allow you to create music quickly. There is a difference - to write a composition in a week or in two days. On the first day you write it down, and the next day you listen to what needs to be corrected in it.
On Windows, I can recommend Fruity Loops or Steinberg Cubase. The former is good for creating electronic music, the latter for more traditional genres.
