web dev here who also plays guitar. i’ve been using audacity for recording and musescore for notation but wondering what else is out there.

anyone using anything cool for practice, transcription, or just messing around with sound?

    I use LMMS for making beats/midi. Make sure to get latest release. It could use some major improvements but it gets the job done most times. I use Audacity to fill in the gaps.

    I’ve been using Juk as an mp3 player and I’ve been using Picard (MusicBrainz) for metadata. I just switched to Nicotine for downloading and it seems great so far. (Previously I was using yt-dlp but the new YouTube API is harder to use and scarier in terms of getting banned.)

    Ardour is an open source DAW (like Cubase/Logic Pro/Reaper) which is meant for music writing. You can use that potentially instead of Audacity for recording and using MIDI instruments.
