“For those looking to compose music on your Linux machine, a
good replacement for Garage Band is Jokosher. Jokosher is a simple,
powerful multi-track recording studio. With this outstanding tool
you can import music, record instruments, mix down, set tempos, and
more. You will not, however, find a large collection of
pre-recorded instruments and sounds to add and manipulate. But, if
you have a Freesound account, you can import anything from their.
Unlike Garage Band, Jokosher is really more a user-friendly
multi-track recorder. So don’t expect to just open up the
application and start piecing together music without picking up an
instrument.

“For more information on other audio creating software take a
look at Linux-Sound.org. In my humble opinion, if you are looking
for mult-media creation, your best bet is to download Ubuntu Studio
which will include so man pre-installed applications for media
creation/editing.”
