Hi James.

i use ardour a lot, it's good.  If you install a release, or build your
own from the stable sources, it's steady.

Most things are tunable, shortcuts, cpu-allocation, io-buffering.

For you there's an Ardour quark for sc, plugging control and feedback of
everything OSCified (= most things in ardour) into sc:

    a = Ardour()
    a.play
    a.stop
    a.add_marker
    a.remove_marker

    (3..7).do{|strip| a.strip_mute(strip,1)}
    (3..7).do{|strip| a.strip_mute(strip,0)}

    a.master_gain(-3)
    a.rec_enable_toggle
    a.strip_recenable(1,1)

etc.
