Free: LMMS and MPC Beats and Splice Beat Maker Online

LMMS is a great open source and free DAW. A fantastic choice if you love free or open source software. However, as with many excellent open source software, the UI can be cumbersome and come with a more demanding learning curve.

MPC Beats is free and not as complex as a full DAW, so it’s easier to enter beat-making for free.

Splice Beat Maker Online reduces the overwhelm of many DAWs and gives quick results.
