Garageband for Apple is both easy to use and powerful—we've been known to whip out some ricked riffs on our bass and punch together a slammin' ballad—but the same functionality is hard to find on the PC. Until now, that is. M-Audio's new Session software is the Windows equivalent of GB, allowing you to make semi-professional to professional sounding music with little training. It even works together with select M-Audio gear for a more hands-on approach.

Making loop based music is simple with their 2 GB library of loops, and hooking up a MIDI keyboard to play a wide variety of instruments and effects makes you a true one-man band.

Comes free when you buy a Fast Trak USB for $100. – Jason Chen
