croddy writes "The first beta of the Ardour digital audio workstation has been released. A tarball is available at the Ardour project page on Sourceforge. Packagers are currently preparing binary releases for several major Linux distributions. Ardour is a professional-grade, low-latency, multi-track digital hard disk recording and mixing application designed to replace dedicated HDR systems, and software systems such as ProTools and Samplitude. It supports audio processing plugins via LADSPA. Although it is still a beta, the years of work and dedication by the Ardour development team are very much visible in this release."

Think Shrek.

Ardour is like Shrek .. it has layers.
Audacity is like Doneky .. it doesn't have layers.

What do you mean "lack of good music recording/processing software on Linux" ? It's built in the OS for crying out loud :

Recording : cat /dev/dsp > my_music.raw
Processing : dd if=my_music.wav of=my_shorter_music.raw bs=1k count=10
Playing : cat my_shorter_music.raw > /dev/dsp

Just try to do that on Windows!
