Mixxx, a completely free software package, is on par feature-wise with Virtual DJ, but had not been mentioned. It is free of charge only for “home use”. Reseigh-Lincoln is addressing a topic that he knows very little about.įor instance, VirtualDJ is a strange pick for a free DJ mixing software. Mentioning LMMS and Audacity was a good idea, everything else is questionable and demonstrates that Mr. The picks themselves are kind of random too. The 5 tools he lists are a DAW, a DJ mixing software, another DAW, a sound editor and a drum machine. Reseigh-Lincoln decided to take different segments of music production software and present his picks. Let’s go through the article and see what’s wrong with it.įirst of all, the author does not explain why these tools are the best and what they had been compared to.
For the reader who wants to learn something new, the added value of this article is so negligible, that we would go as far as to say that it crosses the line into doing harm. To people who are experienced in music production or who at least do basic fact checking and research, it is clear that research behind this particular article cannot boast anything, but perhaps a quick skim through Wikipedia. The article is misleading, demonstrates that the author, Dom Reseigh-Lincoln, knows virtually nothing on the subject, and yet claims that the software he lists is “best” and that he had “tested” it. The article was posted in at least two notable music production communities (KVR Audio and Linux Audio) and quickly became a joke that people share with their friends to amuse. September 4th 2017 saw the release of an article on TechRadar titled “The best free music production software 2017”. A comment on TechRadar’s “The best free music production software 2017”
