Back then, if I recall correctly, the Free version was limited to eight sequencer tracks (with unlimited mixer channels) which was certainly better than the four sequencer tracks that we get for free nowadays. I instantly fell in love with the minimal user interface that was placed on top of such a complex and versatile music production tool. MuLab Free was the first freeware DAW that I really liked back when I was making my first steps in the world of computer based music production. It is also an incredibly powerful sound design tool that will allow you to chain up to eight VST plugins (combined with dozens of MuLab’s built-in devices) in almost and routing setup imaginable. Once you’re ready to upgrade to MuLab UL, you can purchase key in the MuTools Shop and enter it in MuTools 7 Free in order to unlock all of the program’s features. There’s A LOT you can do with the free version, though, especially if you intend on using it as your secondary DAW for starting new projects and experimenting with modular plugin setups.

There are no nag screens or other similar annoyances in MuLab Free, apart from the soft white noise that you’ll hear in case you hit one of its limitations (up to four sequencer tracks and eight VST plugins per session). There’s no installation or activation required and the application is actually fully portable (you can carry it around on a USB stick or an external hard drive and use it as a portable studio). To use the freeware edition of MuLab 7, simply download the latest version of the software from the product page linked below and extract the ZIP archive to you hard drive.
