Re: [Audacity-devel] [Audacity-users] Mist, Events, modifying Audacity

[James C. <cr...@in...>]

This would make sense as a plug-in module for Audacity.

If your friend really is interested, he should subscribe to 
audacity-devel and ask the question himself rather than by proxy - and 
say a lot more about what he wants to achieve.  He should compile 
Audacity from source and try out experimental features like midi 
tracks.  He should also look at label tracks.

After he's talked with us he'll have a better idea whether he wants to 
fork the Audacity project (little to no help from us) or to work on a 
plug-in that adds on to Audacity and modifies the Audacity user 
interface.  I've in the past modified Audacity as an event logger/event 
recorder and can give some pointers.   This sounds like a less radical 
modification.
