You and about twenty-plus others, Lackster. Scripting and/or command-line control is something Audacity users have wanted for literally years.
Personally, I detest Audacity. I just can’t get on with its GUI; the fact that nearly nothing I need is built in but ‘you can download [some add-on] which does that’ (whatever that happens to be), though getting an add-in to work was VERY rare for me; and Audacity’s weird system of multi-track mixing (which again, I never got to work properly).
I know it has many fans, but I’d rather poke my own eyes out with blunt forks than be forced to use Audacity ever again. I saved my sanity by spending £30 or so on Sony ACID Music Studio 7!
All that said ;), I do recommend Audacity to anyone who genuinely can’t afford ACID MS7 or any of the similarly-priced alternatives, like the NCH programs from Australia.
