reaper is excellent for “regular” music recording, etc. but it lacks a bit if you’re into making beats, edm, electro,… then you might wanna look into bitwig, which is basically ableton-like but different and it runs natively on linux (and win & mac). there’s also ardour and a few others that are open source or at least free.

Occasionally i feel myself longing back to the good ol’ JSOFF times.
