Are there any good sound editing programs for Linux, like Sound Forge, Cool Edit, Gold Wave, etc, and programs for creating MIDI music, like Cake Walk? Is there a text editor, that has macro features, Regular expressions, the ability to save in Windows/Mac/Unix format, etc? ... Just a few things that camed to mind. A lot of things are accessible, but ... harder to learn, harder to configure and harder to use, if I am not so bright to remember 1000 command line parameters. Thank you for the links.
