Hi Hugh,

Tried it didn't like it, for me there is only one true free one to try and that is Studio One
as you can save your work and even I could get my head around it.

The link below is for their FREE Studio One 4 Prime.

There are loads of free tutorial videos here, and if you really want to try a DAW I can recommend this one.

Hi ALL,

When I bought my Yamaha MX Synth I got a free version of Cubase Ai 9.5 and while it took me ages to download and install I have to say
its a superb piece of software, would I have paid £240 for it ? no way but as it came with the synth I have it hooked up and it works really well

So if anyone is interested in learning any more about cubase please post here to show your interest and I will source some tutorials on the subject

All the best, Brian007
