There was a windows program that was mentioned in this forum that I believe was a sound editior and it was freeware (meaning you could only download the binaries and not the source). I have done a search for 30 min and could not find the post that I saw it in. If anybody has any suggestions of where I could find a decent freeware program where I could edit and even create music (like a synth) I would greatly appreciate it. And I know about anvil studio but that is not quite was I was looking for.
Thanks in advance.
“Free software” as your topic says is NOT freeware, “free software” is freedom software, open source. Just had to make that clear =)
Maybe you meant Buzz?
English is English. Free software means both freeware software and freedom software. It depends on the context within which it is used - as often happens with a number of words in several Languages. Just because a sub-culture (nb. ‘Sub’ as in a smaller culture within a culture and not as in an inferior culture) has decided to adopt some words as a ‘name’ doesn’t mean the words can no longer be used in other contexts for which it used to be used before anyway.

Eric’s right, Buzz might be what you’re after but it can be a bit tough to crack! :-? There was a lite version of Cakewalk available with a recent issue of Computer Music which you might also find suitable. It might still be on your local Newstands!
Buzz is indeed a cool piece of software! Maybe that’s because I’m addicted to connecting blocks 
Check it out, it’s really worth a try! I checked a lot of free sound progs just a couple of weeks ago. This one’s the only one that’s still installed 
Have fun,

I know that, but GNU has already taken “free software” to their vocabulary. 
Theft! Theft, I say!! The words “free software” are therefore no longer free as in freedom!! Free the words" Free software"!.. Free the words" Free software"!.. (jk!)
Thanks for the responses so far. So far it seems like everyone likes buzz so I will install it tonight.
And about the whole free software debate thing that is going on with this thread, what I meant to say is “Software I dont have to pay for, there is no registration and no time limit before I have to pay and register the software. And the sources do not have to be available for me to install it.” I just didn’t want to say all of that so I said Free Software / Freeware . Didn’t mean to cause a ruckus
Thanks again for the responses, if you think of any more freeware/Free Software (OK, OK I’ll stop 
) I would appreciate it.
i guess if you’re ok with the notice thingy and if you just want to make midis, get noteworthy composer.
There are 2 freeware programs I use that I like.
Audacity- a simple audio editor
Quartz AudioMaster free version (limits you to 4 audiotracks)- multitrack recording
I hope this helped.
Hi
Check this out too:

Melody Assistant is shareware, but you can use it free as long as you wish with certain limitations (which I can’t remember anymore - I have license). And if you decide to get the license, it’s only 15 euros or dollars.
I agree with Mobius. Buzz is a good program, but Psycle is much better and it’s open source.
You should try it!
