Creating your unique audio mixes can turn out to be extremely exciting, especially if you don’t need to spend even a penny. Some folks believe nothing good comes free of cost; but it is simply not true. So, let’s take a look at the top 10 free music mixing programs.

1. UltraMixer

The UltraMixer is a premium audio mixing program, but it is also available as a free edition. This music mixing program allows you to combine several audio formats right from MP3, WMA down to WAV, OGG, and CDs, and even playing them real time.

Some of the music mixing programs are dependent on Operating Systems, but it is not so with UltraMixer. All you need is a sound card with up-to-date drivers, and that’s the best part about it, as you can use UltraMixer in parties and outings.

UltraMixer is an ideal choice for those who want to kick-start as a part time DJ, and once they settle down in the business and have extraneous mixing needs, they can upgrade to the professional version.

2. OpenSebj

OpenSebJ is yet another freebie to take care of all your audio mixing needs. This is handy mixing software for those who wish to mix too many tracks at a time. OpenSebj can load as many as 255 audio samples, though it takes only .wav music files as input.

You can do a lot with OpenSebj such as panning, volume control, changing the frequency of music files, but it works only on Windows Operating System (bad news for Mac & Linux users!)

It is an open source music mixing program released under the GNU along with complete source code. Therefore, if you’re a developer, you can even try to expand on the functionalities of this impressive program.

Here’s the downlink link for OpenSebj.

3. Tactile

Tactile is a compact yet powerhouse music mixing program that is available totally free of cost. Just like most of the professional mixers, it comes with an interactive user interface showing up a couple of turntables featuring a number of controls right from manipulating the speed of tracks, down to changing frequencies, and sound levels of individual tracks.

You have complete control over what you wish to do and how to mix them! However, this music mixing freeware works only with Win95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows NT, and Windows ME.

Note: This is a freeware, but you won’t find a direct download link on the website; you’ll have to fill out a small form, and the software will be mailed to your email address.

4. Audacity

Audacity is one of the proven audio mixing software packages available in the market. One of the good things about Audacity is the sheer fact that even the beginner level users can use it with great ease without really knowing much about audio mixing. However, it is also used extensively for professional music mixing purposes.

When it comes to manipulating things with Audacity, user controls are pretty easy and incorporating effects like fading in/out, volume equalization, mixing multiple tracks, is simply a cakewalk.

What’s more, after creating some fantastic music mix tracks with Audacity, you can even load them onto MP3s and carry along wherever you go.
