    Haven't really looked since I'm more of a broadcast DJ than a recording DJ,
    but do use Audacity on my windows machine to make intros and bumpers.

    I'm in the same boat, I've used Audacity for recording interviews for broadcast, and ue it for preparing podcasts, but I don't do any multitrack studio recording.

    I asked my SecAdmin if he had any suggestions, and he recommended LLMS: https://lmms.io/

    Might want to give it a look see.

    Audacity is nice. It's good to use to clean up recordings and such..

    Thanks, I might have to take a look. Looks like the name is LMMS rather than LLMS?

    Yes, it's great for post processing. I've really cleaned up interview audio. I have a system that allows me to use the stereo tracks more like 2 channels of a multitrack mixer. After recording, I then separate the channels, balance out the levels, independently process out the noise floor and make other tweaks, and finally, merge them into a mono audio stream for broadcast. I use Voicemeeter Banana for the audio routing on the PC, it's a powerful software mixer that leaves the Windows mixer for dead, and a softphone running off my VoIP switch here to conduct the interview.

    The whole system was thrown together when the system at the studio of the community FM station I'm a member of went down on a week we had an interview scheduled, with a repair time of weeks (by which time, it would be too late to do the interview).

    Hi all,

    I have considered migrating to Linux at some point in the future. I'm curious what (if any) multi-track music recording software anyone likes to use for Linux? Is Linux at all considered a serious platform for music recording? It seems like Linux keeps getting more mature all the time, with improved Linux distros and software becoming available. Honestly I don't do much recording, and it's one of those things that I keep thinking of doing more but haven't gotten around to it..

    For Windows, my favorite multi-track recording software is Mixcraft. OS X has Garage Band, which I think is fairly good too. I know Audacity is available on
    all 3 platforms, and although it's free, I'm not sure it's as full-featured as
    Mixcraft or Garage Band.

    I did a quick search for Linux multi-track recording software, and one of the first links was Ardour:
    https://ardour.org/
    From the looks of it, it looks like it might be fairly good, with a UI similar
    to Mixcraft/Garage Band.

    I forgot I posted that.. I'm still using Windows, but I was just recently thinking of installing Linux Mint on my PC to dual-boot with Windows to see how it works on my PC.
