Any edit/effect/modifications are saved as new files (or remebered as application-settings operating on the original data). audio-editors (rezound, audacity, sweep, etc) are usually destructive: load file, apply effect, save file -> original file is gone. DAWs (ardour, qtractor, ecasound,..) are non-destructive: reference file, apply effect or modifications to data but to save the resulting audio, you need to bounce the track or export the session. > It would be better for you to begin with special distros, where all > necessary staff is installed and has good settings out of box.
