Being a musician and recording using Linux audio, I can concur that Arch Ian't the best distro to start with. It's great to use when you know what you're doing, though.
I'm runnning around a dozen machines. Half of those are part of an installation that is used most of the time by people who know virtually nothing about computers, and that has to be available 24/24, 7/7. The other half is used for location recording, production, and acoustic research. All of them run standard Archlinux. Because, apart from installing everything from source and creating my own 'system' layer, that's more or less the only distro up to the task (having tried the obvious alternatives before).
