1) my experience, as i mentioned before, is that the GUI for complex audio+MIDI applications, is at least 2/3 of the code, and at least that much of the effort. since its unlikely that xrazor was written using any kind of cross-platform toolkit, porting such a beast (if the code was available) would be a difficult undertaking. the "insides" of such programs are relatively easy to write. 2) depending on what you mean by a beat slicer, i'd very much like to add this functionality to ardour. we already have regions, and can export regions to audio files. a framework for sample dumps and MIDI note maps would be needed. --p
