I want to know if there is a software for making music like a music studio app. In previous editions is used to have one, that i never get to work because was too complicated for me where i had to install another app so it works. I have installed now another app on my ubuntu 23.10 its called fl studio, but we have to pay to use it in full.

My question is, is there another app that i can make music? maybe it is in app center but i dont know the name, i try to find but i cant

my goal is to make music, new songs if i can or at least try

Reaper is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) that supports both Windows, MacOS and Linux. Reaper is NOT Open Source.

Reaper is also NOT FREE, but comes at a very reasonable price - $60 for a personal license.

Reaper has many interesting features, such as support for common plugins (VST and AU), as well as its own ReaScript and JSFX plugin formats.

Additionally, Reaper is fully themeable and has its own package manager for installing addons.

Unfortunately, installation on Ubuntu is not very easy, since you have to compile Reaper before installing. There is a guide here, and Reaper also have forums where you can get help with this.

Ubuntu Studio uses Ardour, which is a DAW for Linux. Ardour is Open Source.

Ardour is NOT FREE, since the free version is only a demo. However, you can decide for yourself how much you want to pay for it. If you pay more than $45, you get the next major version as well.

I'm not familiar with Ardour myself, but it looks pretty solid, and has support for AU, LV2, VST and LADSPA plugin formats.

You can download Ardour as a .run file, which can then be installed (the version depends on your payment upon download). The latest Intel/AMD version as of May 2024 is Ardour-8.6.0-x86_64.run.

To install, simply download the file, make it executable and run it.

$ chmod +x ./Ardour-8.6.0-x86_64.run
$ ./Ardour-8.6.0-x86_64.run
