[LAU] Re: Looking for a cLI recordiing solution / ideas, brainstorming

Brandon Hale wrote: Hi Brandon, Sometime Nama author here. Thanks for asking. The last ecasound release was in 2020. I think ecasound can tolerate a backlog of a few patches from distro maintainers. And I'm confident that author Kai Vehmanen will consider reviewing and merging them into his sources. Or if necessary, someone will step up. LV2 plugins with poor support for CLI are not an ecasound problem. As Jeanette explained it to me, for some plugins, the GUI might display a certain parameter as frequency in Hz, however the same parameter accessed via liblilv might simply indicate a range of 0 to 1. I hope mod-host users and others wanting better information about LV2 plugins outside a GUI framework will complain loudly (and politely) to the plugin authors. Also, it sounds like someone will have to port JUCE to linux for some plugins to compile. Regarding Nama, I think it's worth maintaining a recorder/editor for terminal users that doesn't require the overhead of a GUI with an accessibility framework. Nama has convenience features in the pipeline that are blocked by problems with the keymaps and terminal libraries. The new features will reduce the keystrokes needed for transport seeking, setting and bumping marks, trimming and assembling audio segments, and adjusting plugin parameters. Overcoming terminal-related issues and landing these features will be the biggest help for Nama, IMO :-) regards to all Joel -- Joel Roth
