that an unusual work-flow is bad.
You do the value judgement, please don't put misrepresented words in my
mouth. It's really sick and I only know such behavior from Linux mailing

I never heard something bad about KXStudio, but theoretically third

I'm using 12.10 because of other issues in
12.04 (especially USB soundcard
requiring a higher kernel to run ok).
Over the past 2 years I am having this laptop, I haven't been able to get a
single stable version of Ubuntu for playing music:
- Soundcard not supported
- EHCI not supporting USB 2.0 soundcard
- XHCI not supporting USB 2.0 soundcard
- Compiz being too slow
- FGLRX creating xrun
Sounds like you're having fun! :-) There are backports of more recent

Pff, Unity IMO is the most worse desktop environment I've ever seen.
I suspect that somebody who likes Unity, would have a very unusual audio
production work-flow,
so any recommendation might be counterproductive regarding to the OP's
needs.
Opinionated nonsense is probably the most counterproductive response
in general, regardless of the OPs needs.
Especially when the OP specifically and politely requested that
discussion of desktop preference be avoided.
