Bandlab the collaborative app/program are getting more and more active and expanding...
After getting Sonar/Cakewalk that was going to be discontinued from Gibson, they have aquired the two magazines Music Tech and Guitar Magazine.
Anyway if missing the news that Cakewalk/Sonar went free it is big news and now there is two free professional DAW´s to look into. The other one being Tracktion 7.
The differences being workflow and that Tracktion is not actively developed.
To get Cakewalk it is necessary to sign up for Bandlab but it does not seem that they molest you with spam or other craziness.
It cost I think around 400 monies just some months ago!
And the last update is a pretty big one...

Soundtrap is an interesting DAW option for anyone with unlimited internet and has been around for some time now. 
Writing this as they have a specific Android app to use their DAW. Which makes it easier than connecting to their website first, just making everything more streamlined.
There are options out there, the ones that come to mind is Audiotool being more electronic music making friendly and Bandlab being very focused on the social and collaborative aspect (Well to be honest Soundtrap as well).
But as always what generates most inspiration should rule and maybe Soundtrap is better? 
(Have not used any of these three... touched Audiotool lightly and found it to be very interesting with a lot of virtual instruments and effects.)

They have pricing plans and the free one have limits set to five projects and fewer things in general.
In this aspect, Auditool and Bandlab are better for sure.

Plug in your own instrument, use the software instruments available in Soundtrap or just record a song directly with a mic— it's super-easy!

You can record, edit and collaborate on your songs wherever you are on almost any device: everything is stored in the cloud! 

Moreover, with Soundtrap you don't have to be alone in your creative moments. You can share the fun of making music in real-time with friends using text and video chat and real-time collaboration.

For example, start a new song using all the built in professional loops and software instruments on your tablet when on the bus, continue on your Chromebook when arriving at home, invite a couple of friends, who are working on Mac and Windows devices, and conduct a video chat from within the studio coming up with the bass line for the song and finally find a didgeridoo player in the Soundtrap community laying down a unique ending of the song; you are all working in the same project seeing and hearing all the changes. 

It's like Google Docs, but for music production! Experience the new way of making music together. 

Soundtrap Features:

- Create music with a large set of high-quality, professional loops. 
- Record vocals, electric guitars, acoustic guitar, bass and more. 
- Use the preamp and the large number of high-quality guitar, bass and vocal effects
- Play the built-in sampled instruments (piano, organ, synths, drums)
- Save your recordings in the cloud
- Invite friends to collaborate on the recording using, for example, video chat possibilities. 
- Share your recordings on Facebook, Twitter and SoundCloud
- Distribute your music on iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, Rhapsody and Google Play
- Use it on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, Linux, iOS and Android

Okay this is not Android related but it is important.
Specially for people that does not have any DAW for their computer.
Can not see anything close to this in question of advanced Free music software.
A full blown DAW for free is pretty amazing and it is not like ten years old or whatever,
it is a couple of years old and have everything that can be expected from a modern DAW.

Tried an earlier version and really like the one window approach as everything is there reachable to drag or click up front.
So not much menu diving and how they set up FX chains and automation etc is great.
But personally am so used to Reaper and use that when recording stuff as it is so easy to cut up and move around audio in that DAW.
But if I was composing in a DAW Tracktion would definitively be high on the list and being for free... that would be the one I went for. (Unless SunVox releases a version with audiotracks...)

The only limitation is that there is no technical support and it will not be updated.
But there is a lot of tutorials and there is a forum for help and even if it will never be updated it will work for a long time, would guess as long as it took for Windows XP got discontinued,
could be, guess, like fifteen years or so?

Thank you Tracktion for letting this out in the wild!!!

HumBeatz are the same developers as a the DAW Amped Studio that is an online DAW that can be used Offline as well allowing for VST/i's.
​When writing about HumBeatz my thought was that it could have been a good idea to have an sequencer buillt in to expand on the two beats allowance but guess that this is a good idea as well and being able to use Amped Studio over the net allows for easy integration when having internet access.

I want to thank Andy for bringing this to my attention and it must be good news for anyone using Studio One as their DAW. Being an official app from PreSonus they use the same setup as the DAW and they made it for free, it seems like a perfect controller if using Studio One.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.presonus.dawremote

* Studio One 3 Artist support requires the Studio One Remote add-on. Studio One add-ons are available at shop.presonus.com.

Looking at the images for this one it is almost exactly the same as FL Studio Mobile!
Hopefully it is better though as it seems that a later update have made FL Studio Mobile getting a lot of one star reviews because of not recognizing installments and force closing etc...
(One thing that Music Band does not have is the integration with FL Studio of course.)

It is all sample based instruments and seems to be more to the realistic side of things but have not tried the app so do not know for sure.
There is a free version that allows for testing which is great and would have saved a lot of grief for disappointed buyers of FL Studio Mobile if imageline did not think with greed as a first priority (at least that is how it seems to me...).
I am convinced that it is the same developer/s as for FL Studio Mobile as there is so much similarities... even the same irritating midi note input in the sequencer!
Hopefully it will work more smoothly though.
​Guess I have to test this one day...

In either case there is a discount for a week and there is like said a free version to see if it works okay. Definitively interesting as there is a lot of instruments plus a lot of Audio tracks, recording, effects etc.

If using Pure Data I guess this must be a DAW that would be highly interesting!
I asked n-Track Studio if it would be integrated into the Android version of n-track Studio as well and it seems that there is a possibility! 
That would be amazing as there is a lot of instruments and effects made already to be used even if there is no knowledge on how to use Pure Data. 
Songtree is also implemented directly into the DAW which is enticing if you are a user of Songtree on Android.

It is made to work cross platform and of course for Android as well. This  is maybe no surprise as it is cloud based. There is a possibility to use it for free but with the limitation of five projects and some smaller limitations... but it is great if there is a need to collaborate with someone and it is in difference to Audiotool more for recording than midi and sound generators.
So if there is a steady internet connection this is one of the more complete apps there is for Android!

This has been out for awhile and last time I took a look about a year ago I did dismiss it but after accidentally seeing this later basic video it looked much more interesting and can see how this would be perfect for some people.
Maybe the one thing missing would be time stretch.
