What a great list. And? Looks like your in production of sorta... I cant wait to try Ardour (IIRC... the name). Thank you!! Probably found another one or more (FOSS Cross-Platform) that will be a badass wrench in the ole toolbelt!

I think it was an actual app, perhaps with GUI, as opposed to a 'Library'(?) or aomething only developers would know how to use... or... understand... (without years or skills or both together). Fun Regards~
