Ask Slashdot: Best Cross-Platform (Linux-Only) Audio Software?

Posted by Soulskill on from the audiophiles,-now-is-your-time-to-shine dept.

blogologue writes "I have played the guitar for some years now, and these days I think it's good therapy to be creative with music, learning the piano and singing as well. So far I've been using Audacity as the tool to compose improvisations and demos. I haven't done much audio work before, but it is already becoming too limited for my needs. Being a Linux-fanboy since the mid-nineties, I'm now looking for a good audio processing/editing/enhancing setup that can run on different platforms, the most important being Linux. Are there any suggestions for Open Source or proprietary audio editing software that run on Linux?"

XP just worked. Office just worked. No spending a weekend every ubuntu release. Is mysql really a supperior product compared to sql server? No.

    Not everyone is a software engineer who tinkers with source code. Employers demand too much of our time and care about results only than playing with free software. Either the author of the post completes the job for the cheapest price in the time given or I will find someone else who will
