Just looking to pirate a good DAW to stick my toes in the water of music production. I have Reaper, but I want something with more sequencing features. I'd love FL studio, but am not picky. Sorry if I've committed a faux pas, this is my first time posting here. Thanks!

    Cool, I'll try it. I really just mean easy step sequencing for drums and arpeggiators and stuff for synths, maybe a way to limit notes to certain scales. I'm trying to move into the box from grooveboxes, and having to do raw piano rolls and timeline sequencing is daunting to me at the moment.

      I work in FL studio, and had a pirated copy for....well....decades. My friend in high-school sent me a copy over ICQ....over dial-up...
      It was version 1.3 if I recall correctly.

      For what you're asking about, LMMS should cover that. If you're really interested in FL, the last time I got a version pirated was off the bay, which was ages ago.

      I just bought a legit license this past Christmas, without all the extended library of VSTs it cost me ~£100 as it was on sale. Believe it was the Producer version.
      I know this sub is about pirating, but I pirated it for 20+ years, and felt like I should probably pay for it since I've used it for so long and plan on continuing to do so.

      In that case you should find midi arpeggiators plugins. There are many in lv2 format that are easy to find and to use (like euclidean rhythm and such).
