Not what you want, but using Ardour's automation, gain curves, etc. combined with the 'export' facility amounts to some form of scripting. I don't know of any command line tool that would allow the same. If you want to apply some process on an audio file from position A to B, the basic problem is to determine A and B. Having a view on the actual waveform helps a lot to do that. The only alternative I see would be some command line player that allows to define markers, also offers some 'preview' facilities such 'play from T - N seconds to T', 'play N seconds starting at T', 'move T by N milliseconds', etc. etc., and then offers some convenient way to store such information for later use by off-line processing. I'd be interested to have such a thing as well, but it takes a lot of programming to make it. -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
