program for music creation for linux plz?

For those who are creating music: I need a program to record,create (synthesizer) and mix music that will work on linux....something like cool edit and fruity loops in windows....is there any similar program in linux (running suse 8.2)
Plz don't tell me to stfw (i googled already and i was lost because i dont know which is the best program )..also i tried krec and other programs which come with the distro but they are not as powerful as those i referred to....
