I use soundation, It's pretty good software and you don't need to download anything. Its also relatively easy to use:

(It's free as well, the only thing you have to pay for is an advanced account or more sound packs).

The Soundation looks to be interesting for beginners to learn how a DAW would work. 
Sadly I have no recommendations on beginner software. I am using Ableton Live and its rather expensive. 
But there is a 30 day demo of it. And it has its own instruments and such built in. And VST support.

I'm pretty experienced with this. and believe it or not, the most like, FREEroaming software is sony vegas pro. because you can move things anywhere.

 

If you want like okay music, or even awesome music, FL Studio is probably what you'll want. I know it sounds overrated, and cliche that everyone would say it.

 

The reason why it's simple, is what you CAN do, is set tempo, then just build patterns by just clicking the pattern squares. I can't really explain it good right now, unless there was like 1 on 1 conversation where i could like help while you're doing it.

FL Studio is the best DAW for beginners I find.

 

Look up SeamlessR, he has a bunch of tutorials and advice tailored just for FL. He also does track reviews and tutoring if you're willing to shell out some cash to learn.

 

Also, look up FL Studio Guru, it's created by Image-Line, who make FL, there's all kinds of tips to be found there.

 

If it comes down to it, you can PM me and I'll help out.

I'm with Smartmax on this. FL Studio is usually considered the most beginner friendly one from what I hear and I'd personally recommend it as it's what I started with and use primarily.

For me, I'd say FL Studio. It's easy to use and the DAW is also the cheapest. It's great for beginners. A lot of popular musical artists use FL Studio. Just note, that FL Studio only works on Windows. 

 

If you save up enough money, Ableton Live is also a good option. It's what a lot of professionals use for their music production. However, with Ableton, it's extremely expensive, and more advanced than FL Studio. Ableton is available for both Mac and Windows.

 

Both have good plugins which allow you to modify the sound however you like.

 

I was just doing some research on the internet on what program is best for music production. It seems that most people say that FL Studio and Ableton are the best choices. I'm currently saving up for FL Studio, so I can (maybe) make some music later on this year.

I use LMMS mainly because it's free and only took half an hour or an hour to understand the basics of it. Of course, it doesn't have too many options, but it's great for beginners.

I use audacity, but that is more for editing sound files rather than producing music.

[AmbientBeat 27]

When I started out I used Garageband to make music. I still do, it's a very useful tool.

Figure is a great app as well. Alchemy is really neat. I use Audacity, but mainly for sound editing. Launchpad is VERY useful. And if you buy the custom sound option ou can add your own samples using Audiocopy, the greatest partner for ios musicians
