Greetings.
Lately I have become interested in music production, and would like to know which trackers you would suggest. I have a preference for something that runs on Linux, but it is not an absolute, and a slight preference for something that produces .it, files, but that is just because I used Impulse Tracker when I was young. In fact, you should probably just ignore the latter.
A nice, modern tracking experience is what I am thinking, something that makes composing a little bit easier, if that is possible.
I would also like to know what you would suggest for making samples, or editing audio, on Linux. At the moment I am thinking GoldWave, and PhotoSounder. Both are good tools, but they are both Windows native.

If you're keen on using Impulse tracker there's a clone here that works on Linux: https://github.com/schismtracker/schismtracker
And also Renoise: https://www.renoise.com/
Also maybe Audacity (https://www.audacityteam.org/) could replace GoldWave ?

Renoise would be the go-to if you want fully modern features, but baked into an oldschool tracker interface. OpenMPT is also a capable choice and gives you the freedom to still create old formats.

HaHA!... I'm surprised Hitchikr did not recommend Protrekkr as he is the developer current... I certainly would recommend Protrekkr, Also AXS which is simple but is win32 only, I don't run linux... I would also recommend Skale Tracker as once you learn it's pretty quick to use & quite 'dope' with limited VSTi-VST usage but it's Win32 as well
Sample creation I do in many ways but usually sampling the output of some VSTi to either a looping or non-looping sampler format that way I can use samples singular or I can convert format to say AKAI to use in Skale Tracker, this makes it EASY I am all about making things easy...
This is a large subject it may take time finding the 'right fit' of tracker or combo (tracker that also has piano roller)...
I have many threads to ponder over here-
