When you can afford to buy stuff, it's sometimes hard to comprehend that there are people who don't have that luxury. And before anyone comes up with 'when you have enough money to buy a computer then.....' they should realize that many programs exist to get poor kids a computer for schooling but those families still have to scrape to get food on the table.
Luckily these days we do have free options for those kids that want to (learn to) make music BECAUSE now we can make music with software which has no production and delivery cost to speak of and is, in some cases, developed by devs who want to help people have pretty great stuff to start with even if you couldn't 'afford' it financially.
My 2c.

Everyone can afford a 24 € synth at some point. Or a monthly issue of Computer Music mag for 3,99 €. I've been fiddling with free- and magware for years, before i bought my first payware. It felt like a huge waste of time after that, when i really found some stuff i was liking, to have messed so long with freeware. I won't lie though, it was also very hard to figure out what is good payware as well...

VERY TRUE!
a lot of manufacturers, plugins, you should try first a lot of plugs, to get a taste.
..recently bought Sonivox drum synth as low as $3 at reverb.com, install folder contain more than 10 000 wav samples, HQ, $3 even closer to free... alot of synth $10..20 on sale
NEURON VS (neuronsynth.com) become free in 2015 for Mac only. ..why?
LINPLUG. . . ... but no free?

Hey, only 7 out of his 17 total posts involve spamming the referral code . Give the guy a break. Besides, it can't possibly be his code, because he explicitly mentioned using it himself:
really "Recreate" button missed in Msoundfactory, and it is why i've bought it with great discount using spam coupon at meldaproduction.com

but thanks to this forum i got huge discounts! first time thought Ardour - nearly free DAW, but now my choice - discounted plugin bundles, with cost just a few bucks per stuff

cause paid DAW includes a lot of instruments, fx, paid software goes trough verification and validation assure that a software system meets a user's needs, certified and signed by issuer ...

It is not only what "crimsonwarlock" said.

but to run DAW you still need to spend much more than $69 for modern PC first... or we talking about smartphone DAW? i know paid one - $5 (when on sale, with coupon) - FL STUDIO MOBILE
btw summer - time of music equipment sales like black Friday and Christmas, or you can register and wait for the sale notification email.
For countries like Bangladesh and Sierra Leone and for ppl with low income good sellers offer spatial discount.

Pretty pointless, isn't it? How would they be able to afford a computer then? Especially one which can run nowadays plugins, inclusion freeware. Or a MIDI keyboard. Or some proper monitors. Etc.

This is exactly what I was pointing at: You may think that, but it simply isn't true.

You both obviously didn't read my post very well, where I said:

Maybe already said millions of times, but: Cakewalk by Bandlab.
Since it started a while it has been known for being a really buggy (unstable) DAW, but it seems the devs didn't abandon the project and recently released an update with tons of bug fixes.
