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

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?"

Why are you such a Linux retard? You're killing yourself creatively by asking for this kind of of software for Linux. If you really want to explore your musical creativity you need to get the hell off such a limited platform. OS X and probably Windows platforms are far, far better as far as choices in this field. Yea, there is Adaucity which you're already found is a piece of crap, or would have discovered had you not limited your world to Linux. And Ardour—nice work, but that's about it. Do yourself a favor and let your creativity flow by looking outside the extremely limited options offered by Linux.

With the realtime kernel and other features that prevent the lag present in other platforms, I don't see the need to cross platforms. Pro-Tools creates a cross platform interface, well, the hardware interface anyway.
I think I'd just stick with Linux, so I don't have to sit there and try to line up tracks with a stinking mouse before the next take. Nice to be able to take my processes down to nil , without some non essential windows "service" claiming it has to live and breath and take up resources and multi-sliced cycles.
Nah, Windows is for Surfers,Office people and gamers. Linux is for that AND people who really need to get something done.
Mac,...MAC? Nah, they're busy with Smart ass phones. I think they aren't in the computer business anymore, are they? Well, the music selling business anyway, not the music making business. But someone will pipe up about their old tired Macs super abilities any old time now.
