@herr_irrtum @lightweight @Salty @trib @meejah @jdmcg another example I find interesting is REAPER. It's not open source, it is however very cheaply available or even free as you are not forced to pay. And also has a great community, many possibilities to adapt it to your needs, extensions you can download, etc. Its ended up being my DAW of choice, as somehow I didn't really get on so well with Ardour back in 2017 when I tried it out.
