I have one track on the web, creatd entirely with PD, but it is musically junk
and so I won't tell were to get it ;)
But here is my favorite linux audio software list of programs that are
working and useful.
1) PD
My absolute favorite. I can spend days digged into PD. Can do almost
everything: Midi, DSP, Graphics... And works even better on linux than on W32.
Others like jMax more. And others still use Csound.
2) snd
The best Audiofile-Editor. Necessary. But needs vi-like keybindings.
3) ecasound
The swiss army knife of linux audio. Records stable like a rock. Still have to
memorize all options.
4) MusE
Sometimes one has to edit midi files comfortably. ttrk also is great, if
you're more into straight beats. And ocasionally I play with softwerk.
5) Soundtracker
For the retro lover in me.
6) LADSPA
Can anyone still live without Steve Harris' plugin collection?
Ardour is missing here, as I don't have any need for it yet. But otherwise
this list completely lists what I intend to use for making (open source) music.
bye,
