For DAW work it's almost certainly Ardour and Jamin (and the infrastructure application JACKit, sometimes also called just JACK) that you're interested in. See http://www.ardour.org/ http://jamin.sourceforge.net/en/about.html http://jackit.sourceforge.net/ All three have official Debian packages available, but most people who are doing serious DAW work are in all likelihood running CVS of some or all of these (Ardour at least) to take advantage of the latest features and fixes. Beyond that, there are samplers and sequencers, drum machines and synthesizers, many of which are of pretty high quality and are JACK compatible. For a long list of available apps on Linux (not all of which will have official Debian packages available), see: http://linux-sound.org/one-page.html Consider also subscribing to the Linux Audio Users mailing list: http://www.linuxdj.com/audio/lad/subscribelau.php There are lots of Linux pro-audio-related pages out there; Googling should turn them up.
