Chromebooks are a great portable way to create, and then edit music due to their small and portable size, but it can be a little difficult to find software that is supported by the Chromebook. Many of the professional editing programs such as garage band, avid pro tools, adobe audition, and many others are currently not supported on chrome os. But luckily there are quite a few quality programs out there for your Chromebook.
