Thanks for all this!
I have no distribution as of yet, or not fully. Just the plan to use Debian
squeeze because I have the pieces for that one.
I hope via this users group to get the Linux help locally I have required
for a good five years at least.
Will be using ssh TELNET into the he box from my main computer so I have
speech that will not make me ill.
The Sonar reference was from someone on the lug talk list.
Does not matter, as you have presented what I desire using since I know they
are all command line tools.
Will keep this email to share and again appreciate our wisdom!

Is it command line only?
For Audio recording and processing there is Joel's Nama:
https://freeshell.de/~bolangi/nama/
Nama has a superb online help system! Try it out!
You can start there and then use the github repository, which right now is
quite stable. You will also need Ecasound for Nama to work:
http://www.eca.cx/ecasound
Your distro should already have a package for Ecasound though.
For MIDI there is Midish:
http://www.midish.org
There is a VERYT good and complete manual on the website!
Nama can use Midish, but I only ever use that for finally bouncing MIDI
tracks to audio. Here's a collection of extra midish commands, that help me
in my own work:

Also to perform good audio processing I strongly recommend LADSPA and LV2
plugins. Your distro should have a bunch, otherwise google for them.
For very good quality reverbs checkout Fons Adriaensen's jconvolver:
http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html
It will tell you, which packages to download or again try your distro, though
I'm not sure about jconvolver.
Having heard about the win and mac giants, you won't get all of their
features, but it does work. Judging by the time it takes other people to
learn those, the learning curve here shouldn't be worse than that. Besides
there are specific mailinglists and of course the LAU here.
I hope this answers your question, since I don't exactly know, what Sonar'[s
feature set is.
In case you actually meant "sonar", I know of one sonar, which is a
distribution for blind people and has nothing to do with a DAW. :)
