Reaper is cool on Linux and free if you click ‘still evaluating’ although a single user license is only $60 and it’s a brilliant DAW! Hardware it’s worth checking the Behringer stuff as you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Yep I’ve been considering the Crave for years!!
Nice, I haven't played with one but a friend has one and loves it.
Keep thinking of playing with Reaper a bit more as it happens.
It's cool once you find the right set up, now it's pretty much got what I had in Pro Tools but quicker and loads of other cool stuff.
Well Pro Tools is a standard indeed. I installed it recently, just need to find the time to try it out in conjunction with a keyboard and something like my Oxi One.
