I have already addressed the issue of linux audio not being perfect. You are running wine and maybe (I don't know) vst programs and other things that make a difficult thing more difficult. I now have things running well on Sidux and Archlinux (not an advertisement, I still like 64Studio) and for those jumping into this post without memorizing my previous posts, my hardware is too new and I can't run 64Studio (just yet). Try to simplify and do some soul searching about what you really need. I'm sorry for not being a linux guru and being more helpful technologically, but I would say, go back to basics and start making MUSIC. The truth is that a creative person can make music on an old 4 track reel-to-reel (or some logs and a couple of sticks). You strike me as an intelligent person. Get creative and work with what you've got. And please post what you come up with, I'd like to hear your music.. Best.
