Look at:
http://sound.lovebead.com/#hdr

My own notes on the stuff listed:
Broadcast -- can't get it to do anything but dump core.

CERES SoundStudio -- demo seemed to work, but the company seems to have
vanished.

Multitrack -- for my purposes it's the best of the bunch so far.

Mix/MixW -- just for mixing, not recording.

Nomrom's Broadcast 2000 -- vaporware.

Rt -- mixing, not recording, I can't get it to work anyway.

SLab -- looks to be quite powerful but seems to require 2.1 kernel to
get full duplex, and I don't think it supports ALSA yet. Also, it has a
large, confusing, and slow (Tk) interface. And so far I've found it too
buggy to get work done, but I haven't tried the latest version yet.

And that seems to be it for Linux multitracking software.

Good luck,

PW
