In the past when I had Windows I was making beats in FL Studio and sometimes mix in Reaper. I didn’t have advanced skills but I knew how to use these tools. For right now I’m Linux Mint user and I’m looking for something open-source. I think that good choice for me will be some kind of tracker because I want to sample. What you use and can you recommend? I also need good learning resources for this tool, because as I said I’m amateur.

    Honestly keep using Reaper at least occasionally, it is the most no-nonsense professional software I have ever used and it works great on Linux. Cockos deserves your money and it is an industry leading tool!

    Otherwise I would recommend LLMS.

    For a leftfield option check out Supercollider!

    Supercollider is an elegant extremely mature open source audio programming language, it is a programming language true but it comes with a nice IDE and there are MANY plugins with GUIs that you can download and try, the point isn’t really to code so much as put all the tools of a DAW straight into your hands.

        Code can absolutely be intimidating and a creative block but on the otherhand a 440hz oscillator in Supercollider can be triggered with

        SinOsc.ar(440, 0.6);
