ardour (was: Re: audacity and speakup?)

[Karen Lewellen]

As you wish.
i want one program that allows me to do the following:
produce broadcast quality materials  on cd,mp3, minidisc, etc,  including
bringing in sound elements from
external sources, mini-disc, cassette, video , etc
and editing or improving the quality of that sound.
I wish to be able to record, for example over dubbing, as in standard
commercials, and and or  if needful,
recording from external sources, say drawn ing from digital piano, cd turn
table tape etc.
although the sound editing factors are more important.
As i have said, i am a freelance radio producer, and want to duplicate
the kind of workstation that i might find in a  standard studio,
including mixing, as i might with a standard mixing board.  If the
application is not capable, then being able to interface a standard mixing
board, with more than  one channel with which to work.
Is this more clear?

If you want to trim parts of that recording, use Chuck's wedit application. If you want to do transpositions and time scale modifications, then you'll want tools like PVC and pvoc. If you want to do all kinds of filtering and mixing and matching, look at ecasound. If you want to generate sound from fundamental rules look at csound and cm.

But, complaining they don't come with CLI interfaces, when available CLI applications that do the same and nearly the same, is just wrong headed.
