I make music and sounds for video games. Which software should I install on Ubuntu Studio for this purpose?

It depends on how you will create and manipulate the sounds and what format you will work in. Please edit your question to elaborate on such things. – N.N. Sep 23 '11 at 15:48
I need some general tips about audio editors and DAWs. In terms of format, it depends on specific work requirements – user25504 Sep 23 '11 at 15:58

The Linux Multi Media Studio is a must for every audio producer.

If you are familiar to MS Based Audio Tools, like: Fruity Loops Studio, Sony Acid, etc. You can feel happy with LMMS.

You can create, use, edit samples from audio files, such as wav, mp3, midi, etc.

For audio capturing, manipulation, editing, DSP, etc. I can suggest you the Audacity, which is more like a multi-track waveform sound editor.

Additionally you may wish to give a try to the Israel Remix Team Multimedia 11.04 found at: http://www.israelremixteam.com, which features lots of useful audio/video tools which will make these tasks easy.

A screenshot of my System using the Israel Remix Team Distro posted here for your convenience:

The left side monitor is showing the menu with Audacity and Ardour in the background, the right side monitor is showing LMMS with a new project.

Your question seems not to be answered with a single one but this may be useful for you.

Good luck!

No mention of JACK? Is it not relevant here? – N.N. Sep 23 '11 at 16:51
Not as far as I can say. I have made music starting from blank sound and never needed of Jack. Which gave me some problems in the past. That's why I choose not to use Jack but it is installed in advance in israel remix team, if you wish to use it. – Geppettvs D'Constanzo Sep 23 '11 at 17:02
