/Make bangers cheep /

Everything you ever need to start making music in-the-box without spending a cent. Many know about this routinely updated blog, but I figure i'd list it here as it's always good to direct new musicians to good (and not so good) freeware. Bpb provides links and info for free DAWS/Trackers, notation software, VST instruments, VST utilities, VST effects, and yes, even samples. It's even updated with a news section related to new additions to the free software lists and reviews of it's listed free plugins. Some of the listed software is abandonware and because of the age and deprecated nature of the VST's, getting some plugins to work can be a real pain, but most plugins still work and the site is updated regularly with info regarding the state of their usability. Go ahead, make an album for as little money as possible, I challenge you ;)
