hi mark,
thanks for the kind and helpful words. if you have a sec, could you
elaborate a little? i'm very comfortable at the commandline, but
applying this sort of paradigm to computer audio is still unfamiliar
for me. do you mean simply writing my own bash/python/whatever
scripts and the like to process waveform audio? or are you thinking
of some specific, smaller audio applications that are geared towards
this kind of scripted approach, and could be strung/glued together
using scripts? do you have an example(s) . . . ?
if not, no worries, just thought i'd ask.
cheers,

I guess at the time I was thinking mostly of ecasound and sox, both of
which I've used very little, but every time I do I'm quite impressed as
to how much they encompass:
Ecasound documentation:
http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html
With this you can concatenate, mix, etc.
Sox - pitch shifting, time stretching, filtering, applying effects, etc.
http://sox.sourceforge.net/
Since you weren't terribly interested in the GUI based apps (I guessed
they weren't quite doing what you were thinking of doing) I thought I'd
suggest these.
Good luck,
Mark
