There was a spin of Ubuntu back in the day that focused on music production. I think I took it for a spin, but that's not really my world and running it as a daily driver wouldn't make sense for me. Having said that, you've probably already got a collection of licenses for a dozen windows-only audio programs . I did learn that sound in general is a bit complex on Linux with pulsaudio, alsa, and whatever else is going on.
