Music can be produced by creating/synthesizing sounds, arranging samples, and playing live with a MIDI keyboard. * Linux MultiMedia Studio, or LMMS, aims to be a free (licensed under GPL), Linux-based alternative to popular (but commercial and closed-source) programs like FL Studio, Cubase and Logic Pro.

I hope some of these applications will somehow help increase your productivity. I have here a list of well-known free and open source digital audio editors for the music enthusiasts, professionals and non-professionals alike. I don’t think they would add a version with telemetry when the time comes.Sound engineers, audio producers, and those involved in sound recording and reproduction are mostly using digital audio editors nowadays. A lot of them look like something made for techno, loops etc, which is just too narrow and useless and overdone if you play something non-programmed and the only thing you need to program is the metronome.Īs for the firewall thing, my version of Audacity comes from my distro’s app store and I’m sticking with that. Also, for recording channel by channel, Audacity (or Adobe Audition) are really the simplest and easiest, if you’re a musician you’re not a programmer or a gamer and many DAWs are too complicated and convoluted for comfortable work. Also there’s noise reduction, amplifying only certain parts, fade in/out, it’s just easier when you have the final product in front of you. Say you’re making an album, you decide what you want on tracks for one song, then simply apply the same presets to tracks from all songs. Reaper is good, using it too, but I do prefer “destructive” editing.
