The ability to handle a 1GB audo clip is also nice..... :-) I guess I need to explain that one. We get programs here on CD that we rip to HD all the time. The problem is that our time slot for one the programs in question is longer than the programs they send -- by a factor of four. So we merge four programs into one, with our own lockout at the end (and we have the producer's permission, too). Then there's the one program that we overlay the promo halfway through the program (again, with permission) with our own PSA or promo instead of the producer's. Everything is automated, and off the HD here -- and CEP has made it all possible. I know a 'do-it-all' program is not necessarily desirable, but.... The one other common editing task I do is remastering of live LP vinyl. I use CEP to do the recording, normalize, process, denoise, depop, etc. I then pull over a neat hack called CDWAV that does the track splitting, on CD block boundaries, so that I can then burn DAO and retain the continuous 'live album' flow. I'm not expecting ardour to do all of this (although it would be nice) -- but I have yet to find a program even remotely like CDWAV under Linux. Know anyone developing such a beast? :-) -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
