It depends on your particular needs. Rosegarden and Muse are pretty good MIDI sequencers. Both have also sound track capabilities (in addition to MIDI tracks). However, perhaps it's better to use Ardour in conjuction with Rosegarden or Muse - it's a dedicated DAW application. There are ways to synchronize Ardour with the sequencers, so that starting one of them will trigger the other. You will probably need to run JACK to glue everything together. Use the LADSPA filters to process the soundtracks - they're pretty much like the VST plugins. Seq24 is a nice application if all you want is a loop-oriented sequencer. PlanetCCRMA has all those applications already packaged for Fedora. http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
