@Michael_Bridges Does anyone know of a program like fruity loops that is free like blender? I would like to make my own music/sound fx for my animations. thank you.
I would like to know this too! 
I currently use use FL Studio as my DAW
Music production can be prohibitively expensive.
Some of the ones on this list look promising
Audacity would be a great stating point for SFX
Thank you, I have audacity but I never saw anywhere that I could mix sounds to make my own sfx. @Michael_Bridges
