Multitrack recorders - Ecasound or Ardour Perhaps you actually want a tracker such as SoundTracker here. (there's plenty to choose from). > -Soundfont enabled realtime synth QSynth Other recommends here: ZynAddSubFX, for when you want something that sounds nice. Hydrogen, for drums. > -Basic effects for the multitracker: simple reverb + simple equalizer LADSPA (Dunno about 'simple': creox? ecamegapedal?) > -Audio editor hopefully with advanced features such as quantizer (handy for > drums) and note tuning (essential for 3 piece brass section!) + some basic > such as compressor > -Any low level stuff for the above from drivers to audio mixer Quantiser in MIDI editor, never seen one in what I would call an 'Audio' editor' Note tuning (?) hmm? > What would you try if you were me?

AGNULA/DeMuDi-1.2.0 or PlanetCCRMA The latest version of DeMuDi installs in under an hour.
