[LAU] looking for command-line/scriptable mastering software

I'd like to learn more about why it's so wrong.   Again,  with stereo 
tracks it's volume based.  For example, if you set my pan to 50%, you 
get a drop of 6 dB on the left side, and -50% is a 6 dB drop on the 
right side.
Fairly trivial to add, yes.  This is why I'd like people to ask me what 
is possible and not just knock it. /

to convert them just to be able to use a particular - any - SW./

Why did you record in floating point format if your A/D converters are not?

Sorry it's not relevant to you.  Aside for the latest version which does 
use ALSA, I have about 4 C header files.  So there's no libsend file or 
anything like that.  The code has been very focused on what I need and 
done from scratch.  There has only been one person to suggest a feature 
and I added that in a couple hours after the suggestion was made.   I do 
continually consider what other users might think about workflow etc., 
but again so far I have had very little feedback.

/OK, then the info on your site is out of date.../

Don't think so.  You've been able to add control files a arguments when 
you launch the program since near the beginning.  And recently you can 
add directories to your preferences file.

It's too bad the closed source issue has rubbed you guys the wrong way.  
The way I see it, I've invested well over 1000 hours and a year of work 
on something which I ask nothing for in return except maybe a little 
respect now and then :)
