Here are some: -Skale and soundtracker (techno trackers) -ReBorn (Rebirth clone, but developpement is stopped, e-mail me for mor informations) -Muse and Rosegarden for midi and audio sequencing -Noteedit for scores editing. -Ladspa plugins for effects (tons of) . There are some VST ports too. -Audacity for multitracks recording -Ecasound (swiss knife for multitrack recording, but for the real men who use the command line ;-) -Ardour is well reputed too, but I've been told it isn't very easy to use. -gmorgan for auto-accompaniement (think of Band-in-a-box) -a low latency patched kernel for achieving sub-10 ms latency (think ASIO drivers for cubase) -Jack for connecting audio apps with low latency -Lots of softsynth, from sampled based to real synths. Some works are still in progress, but if you want to give a try, you won't regret it I think. well and tons of utilities too, take a look at Dave Philips' excellent site: http://linux-sound.org. greetings GuyCLO~
