While it’s essentially a stripped-down version, this free fully functioning guitar rig application includes 24 models that consist of a chromatic tuner, nine stompboxes, four amps, five cabs, three mics and two rack effects. If you already have a guitar lying around, then AmpliTube Custom Shop is the perfect way for you to add expression and flair to your music without the hefty price tag. Plus, it’s the ultimate free music making software for beginners. Though when it’s all said and done, Garage Band is still an immensely powerful tool and one of the most proficient digital audio workstations going around.
The only downsides include a limit of 255 tracks per song, as well as no MIDI export or the ability to control external hardware via MIDI.
