Bitwig Studio is great for music production and sound design.
Yes, I had forgotten about that one. Excellent software and it's great that they make it available for Linux.
Some people swear by Reaper too.
Reaper is also very good. How is VST compatibility with Linux DAWs these days?
Pretty good, atleast for me. Almost all vsts I've downloaded work really well, windows vsts included with yabridge, sometimes the ui is janky (could be 'cause i use a tiling wm and pop-up windows don't agree with it) and a couple of random vsts don't work at all (includes both linux and windows vsts so idk if it's bad programming or a linux thing.) Reaper also has support for claps and lv2s which both work well.
I'm not sure to be honest. I'm still on windows but consciously trying to use Linux compatible software for when I eventually make the jump.
Bitwig's global modular design makes me not need many VSTs. XO drums apparently doesn't support Linux but there may be ways to run it still.
