After long break decided to remember how to make music in linux. Although I got some troubles with the new versions of my favorite MusE DAW, here is the tune. It's called "D".
Basically it suits me but I feel like smth's wrong. But I can't figure out what exactly. Like it lacks something. What do respectable people think?

P. S. Is there any cool libre drum sampler in linux?
I don't know, if you want respectable people you might have to find a different forum. 
I thoroughly enjoyed this, and didn't really feel like anything was missing. I guess if you want to do something more with it, you could introduce more variation in the harmony and/or lead.
If you want acoustic drum samples, try AVL Drums or Drum Gizmo.
Hi, aside from liking the overall structure, instruments, and theme, I would enjoy hearing more
distinction in tonality between the nice pads/strings, and the solo instruments. This could mean some
EQ and levels adjustments, and maybe some extra saturation and crunch to make the leads jump out.
It also needs to be longer, as it ends where the best parts need to bust out of the coral.
Based on your other songs, you can put together some fine musical expressions.
In your Last Lullaby, for the e-piano, I'd love to hear some mild distortion and then some tremolo,
to be more along the energy level of the guitar solos. The blending of the two is not easy, but you're
doing it very well. Rakarrack multi-effects app is great for such things.
In Babylon, you've got a fine song structure and wah-play, that by it's nature, makes it harder to stay tight with the beat.
It 'felt' like the guitar was lagging by just a hair. Phrasing some quiet time between riffs, lets the listeners
process your skills. Jeff Beck was great at that. The second of the nicely alternating wah tones seemed too tame,
and maybe both parts could be doubled in length, allowing space to more easily differentiate between the parts.
I have a theory, that when a new and different element is added in the middle of a song, it needs to reprised
at least once, to justify it's existance, and provide 'closure'. You added some 'rich thunder',
that could be elaborated on later in the song, and again, your skills make me want to hear longer versions of your songs.
Rick Beato is a genious for helping guitarists and composers, If unfamiliar, I think you would love his myriad and diverse
video collection on youtube, it's always inspirational to me, even when it's way way over my head at times. Which is often.
Hydrogen drum machine is great for creating patterns/beats, adding effects, and creating kits from .wav files

OK, I'll say more modestly - beloved.

Thanks, Michael. Seems I know what're you talking about, but I don't feel like I could add more variations.
Thanks for DrumGizmo, will try it.

Thanks a lot, guy! It seems to make sense, although usually I try to pick sounds in such a way that they are minimally refined in the mix. However, after many listenings, it seemed to me that something's wrong with the bass line.
As for saturation, it's also a great idea if I find a good saturator.
As for Hydrogen, it's a very cool thing, but I don't fully understand how it works. Once I managed to cope with it (I posted this melody here), but it was launched not as a plug-in, but in parallel with DAW which was pretty weird.
Thanks for other tunes’ review as well, but unfortunately they are made not in linux.
P. S. In general, with the new system and MusE updates it has become more difficult to work with sound. Maybe this was the last.
Hydrogen output can be connected to Reaper daw input track by qjackctl
If you right-click in the upper-right rectangle area of Reaper, just beloow the tool icons and track,
the resulting popup menu offers
'Insert virtual instrument on new track', and from there, you can easily add plugin populated tracks.
Reaper is easy to use, fast, small in disk footprint, with many options, but they can be investigated when actually needed.
Reaper has an active linux forum: https://forum.cockos.com/forumdisplay.php?f=52
Kenny Gioia has produced hours of useful videos https://www.youtube.com/c/REAPERMania
After the 60 day unlimited demo, Reaper semi-pro license is $60

Of course, that can be done with OP's MusE too. And you must enable Jack Transport in both DAW and Hydrogen to sync them. Hydrogen as slave, DAW as master.

Seems that's how it works. Not the most obvious and convenient option. But thank you.
That’s what I got. Added some tracks, sidechain, eq, panning, and mastering. And as for me it sounds better however not the best. Thanks for you guys who told me what to do.
Hope it's not the last tune made with open source, but at the moment it looks like this.
Very nice mix, master, sound introductions, and blending choices. The theme builds and is well maintained throughout 
Nice mix and choice of sounds. Since you asked for it, I think that, while your song is not amelodic, you can definitely do better with melody. It feels like it has a direction but not a goal.
