Any good Audio Editing suite's like GarageBand for Linux packet managers
 

my title is pretty explanitory...

Are there any audio editing programs you would reccomend for a home band studio.

Depending on how easy/complicated you want it - Audacity, Ardour and Rosegarden are probably the most common. There are also a number of plugins for doing effects + mastering. Check out the LQ bookmarks at http://bookmarks.linuxquestions.org/linux?like=audio
