I have literally zero experience with creating audio, but I want to try something new for me.

I know most people who are “properly” into music production are just using a Mac, because it just works and where a lot of the software is available.

Thing is, I have zero expectations.
I don’t need a lot of features, plug-ins, and whatever. Most stuff will probably just be fine for me.

Heck, I don’t even know what I need in the first place to get a full “stack” of audio production software.

For the start, I’d prefer something simple. Mostly just something where I can arrange a few recorded audio tracks onto each other and maybe edit them a bit. Something where I can record the tracks with my microphone (and some time later maybe an input device like a piano keyboard, e-guitar, etc.) and listen them at the same time, preferably in the same program.

What are your experiences with making music on Linux?
What software would you recommend?
