downloads
Here is a short list of freeware and shareware programs that I've downloaded, tried out, and highly recommend for music creation and a couple of other things. Not all of my favorites are listed (the Buzzmachines packs are just too big), but you should be able to make good use of what I offer here.

Slice
Version:  
Operating System:

A program for cutting files into multiple pieces for storage on removable media, usually floppy disks, and then putting them back together again later. A very handy little tool, at least before the advent of CD burners and thumb drives. Comes with source code (.ASM).

Tracker's Handbook
Version:  

Summary:  		 0.5

A very useful guide to principles of tracking, including sampling, panning, mixing, releasing, and more. I highly recommend it for new trackers. Unfortunately, it's a work-in-progress and has been for the past 8 years or so. Available in both .txt and .doc formats.
