That said, I will spend some time perusing there
again, or if you want to
point me to one that you think does cover these things, like fades between
two separate wave files, intergap & inter-track spacing, track points
defined within one wave file (used for defining the start of a track inside
of a single long performance, like a live take), track names, I'd certainly
be interested.
There are several that can do everything you mentioned with regard
to spacing and track points (gcdmaster w/cdrdao is one), but I
haven't run across one that will do actual audio processing like
complex fades or cross-fades as well.
There are also a few features of such a proposed tool that would
be nice for CD mastering:
* quick-jump auditioning between several points to get a feel for perceived
relative levels on different tracks (ideally, with very low latency switching)
* integration with Steve's mastering toolkit (JAM) to make this *the*
tool. I think that JAM should be implemented plugin-based,
so that a GUI/diskIO tool such as this could encapsulate all
the mastering needs, *but* other tools can still make use of
it.
just throwing stuff out....
