I've been using FL Studio 6 for a while now. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am rendered unable to use this sexy program for the next month or so.
100k to whoever can find me the best FREE virtual studio. I've played around with a few free ones, like Notebook for example, and I just can't find one I like.
So Your job is to find me a virtual studio that has as many features as possible, easy to use interface, and most important: FREE
Thanks.

Though I've never heard of FL Studio 6, I'll vouch for Audacity. I've used it for years, but I suppose I only use the simple features.

I'm looking for something along the lines of this program, this is the demo version. If you are into music, you should check it out. It's amazing.
I have installed Audacity, although I have no time to "play test it" My room-mate demands sleep :(
Lord of war is a good good good movie. I suggest it.

There aren't really any free virtual studios, let alone good free ones. Demos and trials exist for all, and are free, but are very limited and you can't save.
The cream of the crop is: Reason, Orion Platinum, FL studio.
Then you have your sequencing / mastering applications like cubase, logic, ableton etc.

DLS, that link for FL Studio goes right to an automatic download of the software. Careful...

Oh! F L = Fruity loops! I
have heard of that!
All I use Audacity for is simple wave editing and mixing, but the vast number of knobs, tools, toys, and utilities in FLStudio are very tempting :)

FL is VERY amazing, I write all my drum and bass in FLS 6.
It does? That link I put up SHOULD go to the page where you can download the demo. atleast it does for me. :S
My friend was telling me about a program much like FL Studio, where you can create some awesome Drum and Bass, that he got for free. :S That is what I'm looking for :(
I hope I don't seriously have to go without creating for a whole month :( Bah!

You're not going to get amazing results, or even halfway decent sounds, from a free studio, especially since it sounds like you're using it for composition.
For years, I did everything in Sonar until I had a friend suggest Reason and Cubase. Between the two, I can do anything and make it sound nearly professional. I have unopened, fully-licensed copies of both pieces of software, albeit they're not the latest and greatest versions. PM me if you're interested.
