Welcome back!  Check out my web site: 
http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/ALSA_JACK_ARDOUR.html

Ardour is the best multitrack available but it takes some setup to get running. 
I've documented the scratch setup on my web site (since you already know your way
around Linux this shouldn't be a problem).  Don't forget to check out JAMIn for
mastering (http://jamin.sourceforge.net/).
