Digital Audio Workstation

Being  a Linux user and a bit of a "Muso" means hunting out the best tools to get some recording done.
Some time ago I found a great program called Ardour. http://ardour.org/
If your Linux based and want to do some multi-track work check it out. By using a program called "Festige" and "Wine" you can even run some Windows VST plugins, which is really handy. I find though that the plugins available in Linux are all that I need, a good re-verb and good Eq is all I really need. I just record guitar and vocal live.

Latest update:
If your a windows user try out "Podium Free" available at  http://www.zynewave.com
Most of the windows "DAWS" seem to work quite well under "WINE" and Linux which could be another option.
