This is not freeware. It is open source software. It will run on Linux and OSX and others. You can even use VST plugins. For an interesting open alternative to commercial DAWs check out Ardour for Linux and OSX.
P.S. Loving this little series Joe.
James,
You’re right, it is indeed opensource. I’ll make sure to note that on future updates.
