Many audio synthesis and recording packages are in use or in development on Linux. These work in many different ways. LADSPA provides a standard way for `plugin' audio processors to be used with a wide range of these packages.
For instance, this

originally developed by Miller Puckette and company at IRCAM. The core of Pd is written and maintained by Miller Puckette and includes the work of many developers, making the whole package very much a community effort. [Less]
Sonic Visualiser is an application for viewing and analysing the contents of music audio files. It combines powerful waveform and spectral visualisation tools with automated feature extraction plugins and annotation capabilities.
Psycle is a Music tracker (like FastTracker 2 or Impulse Tracker) combined with plugin modularity. It supports its own plugin API, the VST2 plugin standard, and a tracker style sampler playback.
SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. It provides an interpreted object-oriented language which functions as a network client to a state of the art, realtime sound

tool boxes!
It allows you to do your work the way you was used to do it, and allows you to gradually adopt the - often easier and much more powerfull - contextual interaction way of working!
Traverso lets you record and playback from/too as many channels as your hardware has available!
Adding or removing AudioClips, Tracks and Plugins during playback/capture is perfectly save, thanks to the carefully designed audio processing engine.
Traverso runs smoothly on the Linux, Windows and Mac OS X operating systems! [Less]
JAMin is the JACK Audio Mastering interface. JAMin is designed to perform professional audio mastering of any number of input streams. It consists of a number of tools to do this: a 1024 band hand drawn EQ with modifiable parametric controls, a 31

for portability. Since Csound is a computational language, it is highly flexible and efficient; complexity is gained only at the expense of computation power. Basically, Csound reads some files and creates the result as a sound file on disk or, on faster machines, in real time through a DAC. [Less]
Strongly-timed, Concurrent, and On-the-fly Audio Programming Language.
ChucK is a new (and developing) audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, performance, and now, analysis - fully supported on MacOS X, Windows, and
... [More]
Linux. ChucK presents a new time-based, concurrent programming model that's highly precise and expressive (we call this strongly-timed), as well as dynamic control rates, and the ability to add and modify code on-the-fly. In addition, ChucK supports MIDI, OSC, HID device, and multi-channel audio. It's fun and easy to learn, and offers composers, researchers, and performers a powerful programming tool for building and experimenting with complex audio synthesis/analysis programs, and real-time interactive control.
