Free audio software

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Free audio software is free software that can be used to listen to, modify, create and/or author audio signals and music. There is free audio software available for Windows and Mac OS, but the largest quantity of the free audio software only runs on GNU/Linux.

Dynebolic, Planet CCRMA and AGNULA are GNU/Linux distributions designed for musicians and/or audio engineers.
