thanks for all of the pointers guys. I'll mess around with everything and
see what works for me.

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
