Free Songwriting Software

Some free songwriting software programs are available but not many. Paid programs are usually more advanced and updated more often, of course. But if you're just starting out, it's perfectly fine to use some free programs. The following are the best ones available.

Audacity

Audacity (Mac, Windows, Linux) is a piece of open source software for recording and editing sounds. In my opinion, it's the best free songwriting software out there. It might come handy when you write a song and you need to record it to remember the words or melody later. Or you can even do some recording and editing if you need to submit a songwriting demo somewhere.

Features:
• Record with your built-in or any other microphone. You can even make multi track recordings with Audacity.
• Import and export sound files. Audacity supports wav, aiff, au, flac and ogg vorbis files. You can import the files, edit and/or combine them and export the result.
• Edit sound files. You can copy, paste, cut and delete parts. If you do some multi track recording, you can also mix the tracks.
• Use special effects, like echo, change of tempo, removal of noises and many more.

VersePerfect

VersePerfect (Windows) is the next best free software. It helps you write lyrics. This software is very easy to use.

Features:
• It gives you phrases, nouns and rhymesfor the words you enter.
• Famous quotes help you to get inspired.
• Semantic chart to help you find connection between words and feelings.
• You can also easily access online dictionaries, thesauruses and Wikipedia from the program.

Song Sharpener (Windows) is a free songwriting tool. It helps you to write songs that are very similar to the ones on the Billboard charts.
