OK, so here is a list of free, as in completely free, or open source DAWs that work on Windows. If you have any tutorials, especially video tutorials for any of these, please post a link! Also if you know of any others, please post a link!
PLEASE DO NOT share links to low cost, free with expectation of payment (IE Reaper), or free demo/trial versions (AKA crippleware) programs! DO NOT share Linux/Mac only programs!
If one of these I've posted is not completely free or for Windows let me know and I will remove it. As far as I know this list is only of free and open source Windows programs:
