A good starting point would be the readme.txt of a/demudi music distroit is on the wiki well start to try to understand jack audio server its the main pieceof a pro-audio linux box its very simple to work with qjackctl (jack control) to record multitrack the best option is ardour. You can plug effectswith lapsca (like vst for linux) to have realtime effects creox or jack-rack > > I know there are a few hardware vendors who's products work well on> linux.
