Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio workstation (DAW). It can be used to control, record, edit and run complex audio setups.

Ardour supports pro-audio interfaces through the ALSA project, which provides high quality, well designed device drivers and API's for audio I/O under Linux. Any interface supported by ALSA can be used with Ardour. This includes the all-digital 26 channel RME Hammerfall, the Midiman Delta 1010 and many others.

Ardour has support for 24 bit samples using floating point internally, non-linear editing with unlimited undo, a user-configurable mixer, MTC master/slave capabilities, MIDI hardware control surface compatibility.

It supports MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller and many modern digital mixers.

Ardour contains a powerful multitrack audio editor/arranger that is completely non-destructive and capable of all standard non-linear editing operations (insert, replace, delete, move, trim, select, cut/copy/paste). The editor has unlimited undo/redo capabilities and can save independent "versions" of a track or an entire piece

Ardour's editor supports the community-developed LADSPA plugin standard. Arbitrary chains of plugins can be attached to any portion of a track. Every mixer strip can have any number of inputs and outputs, not just mono, stereo or 5.1. An N-way panner is included, with support for various panning models. Pre- and post-fader sends exist, each with their own gain and pan controls. Every mixer strip acts as its own bus, and thus the bus count in Ardour is unlimited. You can submix any number of strips into another strip.

Ardour's channel capacity is limited only by the number on your audio interface and the ability of your disk subsystem to stream the data back and forth.

JACK (the JACK Audio Connection Kit) is used for all audio I/O, permitting data to be exchanged in perfect samplesync with other applications and/or hardware audio interfaces.

Ardour is sample rate and size neutral - any hardware formats from 8 to 32 bits, and rates from 8kHz to 192kHz. Internal processing in 32/64 bit IEEE floating point format.

Audacity jest wielościeżkowym edytorem audio do systemów Linux/Unix, MacOS oraz Windows. Jest zaprojektowany z myślą o łatwym nagrywaniu, odtwarzaniu i edytowaniu cyfrowych plików audio. Audacity zawiera cyfrowe efekty oraz narzędzia do analizy widma. Edytowanie jest bardzo szybkie i umożliwia wykonywanie nieograniczonej liczby operacji cofnij/ponów.

Do wspieranych plików należą: Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV, AIFF oraz AU.

Blender jest zintegrowanym pakietem narzędziowym służącym do trójwymiarowego modelowania, animacji, renderingu, postprodukcji, interaktywnego tworzenia i odtwarzania (gier). Blender dysponuje własnym, wyjątkowym interfejsem użytkownika, stworzonym w całości w oparciu o OpenGL i zaprojektowanym z myślą o szybkości. Wiązania Pythona dostępne są do obsługi skryptów; funkcje importu/eksportu popularnych formatów plików jak 3D Studio i Wavefront OBJ zostały zaimplementowane przez społeczność jako skrypty. Fotosy, animacje, modele dla gier, silniki spoza projektu oraz interaktywne treści w postaci niezależnych plików binarnych są powszechnymi produktami używania Blendera.

GIMP jest zaawansowanym edytorem obrazów. Można go używać do edytowania, poprawiania oraz retuszowania zdjęć i skanów, tworzenia rysunków oraz własnych obrazów. Udostępnia dużą kolekcję profesjonalnych narzędzi edycyjnych i filtrów, podobnych do tych, które można znaleźć w programie Photoshop. Oferuje wiele ustawień oraz funkcji zapewniających pełną kontrolę nad obrazami, w tym warstwy, ścieżki, maski oraz skrypty.

Obsługiwanych jest wiele formatów plików graficznych m.in. pliki JPEG, pliki programów Photoshop (.psd) i Paint Shop Pro (.psp). GIMP może być również używany do skanowania i drukowania zdjęć.

Aby otwierać pliki zdalne (np. za pośrednictwem protokołu HTTP), należy zainstalować pakiet gvfs-backends.

Aby używać urządzenia MIDI (takiego jak muzyczna klawiatura) w charakterze kontrolera wejścia w GIMP-ie, należy zainstalować bibliotekę libasound2 i zapoznać się z instrukcjami znajdującymi się w /usr/share/doc/gimp/ README.MIDI.

Inkscape is an illustration editor which has everything needed to create professional-quality computer art. You can use it to make diagrams and illustrations, technical drawings, web graphics, clip art, icons and logos. A collection of hands-on tutorials show you how to combine lines, shapes and text of different types and styles to build up a picture.

A selection of powerful vector graphics editing tools comes as standard. There is excellent support for paths, gradients, layers, alpha transparency and text flow control. An extensive library of filters allow you to apply realistic effects and extensions allow you to work with bitmaps, barcodes and printing marks, amongst other things.

Most of the common vector formats are supported, including PDF, Adobe Illustrator and AutoCAD files, and it has unrivalled support for the SVG web graphics standard.

Between the suggested packages:

• dia: to export Dia shapes;
• libsvg-perl: to import .txt files (txt2svg extension);
• libxml-xql-perl: to use the shadow effect;
• python3-uniconvertor: enables several import/export extensions;
• pstoedit: to work with eps files;
• ruby: there are several extensions written in ruby;

mtPaint is a free, open source graphic editing program which uses the GTK+ toolkit. It is geared towards creating indexed palette images and pixel art.

Due to its efficient design it can run on older PC hardware (e.g. a 200MHz CPU and 32MB of RAM). It can edit indexed palette or 24 bit RGB images and offers basic painting and palette manipulation tools.

It is aimed to be simple and easy to use. it also can handle JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, XPM, and XBM files.

POV-Ray is a full-featured ray tracer. Ray tracers simulate objects and light sources of the real world to calculate photorealistic, computer generated images. Because of the nature of ray tracing, this process is quite CPU-intensive, at the benefit of more realistic images compared to real time rendering techniques. For example, in POV-Ray, you can model a glass prism, and you will see a spectrum in the resulting image.

POV-Ray by itself is a command-line utility that will take scene descriptions, written in a special easy-to-understand language, to produce ray-traced images (or even a sequence of images, for animations). You can either write those scene-descriptions by hand, or use external tools to generate (parts of) the scene.

povray-includes is highly recommended in addition to this package.

Tiled is a general purpose tile map editor. It's built to be easy to use, yet capable of catering to a host of varying game engines, whether your game is an RPG, platformer or Breakout clone. Tiled supports plugins to read and write map formats, in addition to its map format, to support map formats in use by engines.
