Neural Amp Modeler. Free, open source, and objectively superior to anything out there from any closed source company.

Ardour is an open source DAW (like Cubase/Logic Pro/Reaper) which is meant for music writing. You can use that potentially instead of Audacity for recording and using MIDI instruments.

I use LMMS for making beats/midi. Make sure to get latest release. It could use some major improvements but it gets the job done most times. I use Audacity to fill in the gaps.

I’ve been using Juk as an mp3 player and I’ve been using Picard (MusicBrainz) for metadata. I just switched to Nicotine for downloading and it seems great so far. (Previously I was using yt-dlp but the new YouTube API is harder to use and scarier in terms of getting banned.)
