IMHO, there is nothing more appropriate for these tasks than the Ardour
mixer interface. As I state usually in this line of useage, it is a
massive underuse of Ardour and all of it's other capabilities but I use
it's mixer interface live for gigs and it is all of the things you want
plus a LOT more when you have the need.
