Okay, some background information. I just got a gig installing linux on some guy's computer. I plan on installing Ubuntu to make it easy on me as well as him since I doubt he has any linux experience. He has given me some requirements that I must fulfill, but I'm totally stumped. Here's what he's asking for:
"An application that will provide me with high powered musical composition/editing/recording tools as well as midi interface (for guitar/dj turntables, etc.)"
Help me out guys. Thanks.

There are no Linux audio experts. That's why Linux sound systems suck so much and work so poorly.
You might want to consider the following warning: If you have not used Linux before, the Ubuntu and Debian distributions are not recommended if audio is your primary goal.
Bullshit. I know at least one person who makes a living producing music/sfx on a 100% linux system, and a few who use linux alongside a more conventional setup.
There is some distro thats debian based and meant for this kinda thing, cant remember name but a google should show you it.

You're using the wrong operating system for this type of software. Use Windows XP, there is one hell of a lot more good audio software for this platform than Linux. (I would suggest OS X, but that would presumbably require a new hardware purchase.)
