Then there is AV Linux, specifically configured for audio.
A Penguin for your thoughts...

I tend to distro-hop a lot, so I have tried a lot and rarely stay with one too long. A lot depends on what desktop environment I like at the time. Currently it is KDE, so I am on Kubuntu. But my top recommendation, especially since the devs use Debian would be to try MX-16. It is Debian stable with Xfce and they have an excellent community repo for more recent software and special kernels. This includes Liquorix kernels (compiled to work with Debian stable - they are normally for Debian Testing or Unstable)which are low latency and work very well for pro audio. And because it is Debian, you can also add the KXStudio repos, which has the best availability of linux vsts.
