Hey All,

Recently I came across some nice open source audio software which I thought would be worth sharing, though mainly for OS X and Linux.

Jack OS X => http://www.jackosx.com/about.html

Jack (the Jack Audio Connection Kit) is a low-latency audio server, written originally for the GNU/Linux operating system, and now with Mac OS X support. It can connect any number of different applications to a single hardware audio device; it also allows applications to send and receive audio to and from each other.

Ardour   => http://ardour.org/
A free open source Digital Audio Workstation

JackBeat (OS X/Linux/Windows) => http://jackbeat.samalyse.org/
Jackbeat is a free multi-platform audio sequencer, for musicians and sound artists:

I have no experience with Producing or creating Electronic music besides the occasional recording with Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) but the entire Jack software suite seems pretty interesting to dig  deeper in to it.

It seems that there are quite some tools specifically written to work with Jack Audio Server. If you are interested you should definitely have a look at http://freshmeat.net and search for "jack audio".

About freshmeat.net: "freshmeat maintains the Web's largest index of Unix and cross-platform software, themes and related "eye-candy", and Palm OS software."
