   You may disagree with my opinion, but I still prefer to install FL Studio on Linux to mess with samples and stuff like that. I love LMMS, but it lacks quite a few features I like using.

     @dendy @getimiskon I'm sorry, it's not an opinion to surrender your freedom to proprietary malware for mere convenience, that's cuckery.

     @getimiskon I 100% agree
     
     FL Studio do be the best option for sequencer type beats. Wish LMMS was more capable

     But you don't actually end up avoiding it, even when a suitable free software replacement exists that is only slightly less convenient?

     ALSA works just fine in my experience.
     
     On systemd/Linux, you're in for some audio pain, sure.

     Good thing it's free software, so you can add the features yourself, pay someone to implement them or submit a feature request.

     @Suiseiseki I know it fucking sucks to use proprietary software, and I prefer to avoid it. But let's be real, audio applications have always been quite a bit of pain on Linux. For example, the sampler on LMMS lacks quite a few useful features.

     Ardour probably will do everything you want, but I haven't used it before.

     The backend for pipewire and JACK is ALSA you know?
     
     I've found raw ALSA to be so low-latency that it overcomes poorly designed PCIe firewire cards.
     
     >I can clearly see you haven't worked with audio before.
     I work with audio with straight ffmpeg sometimes.

     I guess I could try something like that on Ardour, never really tried it there (also it feels clunky). You may be right, there might be a piece of software that does that right.
     
     >On systemd/Linux, you're in for some audio pain, sure.
     I don't even use systemd on my system. So far, pipewire is alright, it works very nicely with applications that work with JACK. ALSA isn't that great for low-latency stuff, like recordings.
     
     As for LMMS itself, it's getting improved quite a bit (they recently added some neat plugins), but still needs work to use. I could try adding the features, but I'm not good at programming.
     
     From your post, I can clearly see you haven't worked with audio before.
