Mixbus, EnergyXT and perhaps Bitwig might or might not provide it.
Assumed I will go off-line within the next minutes, I'll likely have
time to test Bitwig tomorrow. They aren't free as in beer, so I would
call them "proprietary" DAWs. It's ok to pay for a Linux DAW, especially
if people should use it for professional work. For my home recording I
prefer to use legal gratis software. If we look out what other home
recording folks use, we often will see them using cracked software for
other operating systems. Btw. we could use templates for Qtractor,
Ardour and other Linux DAWs that provide tracks with EQs, I don't claim
that using "free" Linux software doesn't provide a smoothly work-flow,
but it takes some preparation and can't be done for all the musician's
needs. Using Linux means to care about many things and it's not always
easy.
