[LAU] Equivalent to reason?

[Julien Claassen]

Hi!
   For a DAW to record: Try audacity (it's rather simple). I said rather. It 
means it is worthy to work with. For the big time work: go for ardour. There 
is a debian package for it, and I believe there should be a ubuntu package for 
it.
   For sample-playback: If you don't have sampling libraries yet or if you want 
to go for others: there is linuxsampler, which can read gigasample version2 
sounds. There is hydrogen for drum-sounds, which has its own libraries and 
lets you create new drum-libraries. there is alsofluidsynth (and qsynth for 
the graphical interface). Fluidsynth (qsynth respectively) read soundfonts. 
There are some very ok drum-libraries in SF2 format.
   That's just completing to makr Knecht's message, not an either-or 
alternative.
   Kindest regards
         Julien
