LMMS, a FOSS DAW, could be under a “DAW software” category of some kind
Also Ardour in the same category
Done!
Just added an ‘Audio Workstation Software’ section with LMMS in it - thanks for the recommendation!
To be fair, the Audio Editing and Audio Workstation mix a lot. I personally use Ardour to do everything I could with Audacity. Audio recording and editing.
I’ll collapse the ‘Audio Editing’ category into the ‘Audio Workstation’ one.
