Sorry about all the glitches and cracking sound. It takes a lot of cpu memory to record the cpu screen,soundcard and video at the same time. I’ve got 4 gigs in my computer. I guess I need to max it out to 8 gigs.

Software: LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio), 100% free music composition software for Linux
LMMS has seen big improvements since the 0.3 series. I was surprised to load it up and see more instruments and tools, a prettier interface, and a much more stable music creation system.
Of note are the Vestige VST plugin, which allows Windows VSTs to be used (I tested the Superwave P8 and it worked very well); the C64 SID emulator, Gameboy emulator, and SF2 (SoundFont) import.
I have been using ALSA instead of Jack and can report very low CPU usage and good sound quality.
Apologies for the handheld video!
P.S., the story in the annotations is completely true. I guess I was about 9 years old when it happened.

Loop playback also automatically updates to the selection without having to manually stop and start the transport. With the new Loop Trim tool, you can turn any audio or MIDI region into a loop instantly.

Add or remove tracks; add, remove, or copy inserts and sends; change a track’s I/O routing; re-order tracks; and make other changes without having to manually stop playback.
