I would like to undo per region so that....-- suppose I have two regions, A
and B. Region A, to oversimplify, needs filtering to some extent, and region
B needs compression, amongst other things. Time compression, maybe, to
beat-sync the regions. Now, I slide the regions to where I need alignment,
and apply the time-compression to region B. Then I apply my filter to region
A. I then apply compression to B, then realize that I've overdone the
filtering on A. I want to undo the filter while leaving the compression (and
timebase shift) in place. Thus, each region ideally should have independent
undo stacks.

Hmmm. There was something about ardour I didn't like, but I forget what it
was right off.... (access website) Oh, yeah -- Red Hat's broken compiler
issue. I use RH 7.2, and have for some time (beta tester here). 7.2 ships
the gcc that doesn't exist (2.96-98). Any experience with that? What about
the Official GCC 3.0 (which RHL 7.2 includes)?
Also, as RPM maintainer for the PostgreSQL Global Development Group, I am
used to difficult build procedures, but, pardon the pun, this one is
ardourous.... And I make it policy to install from RPM whenever possible so
that security updates are more easily accomplished -- especially on my
intranet and internet servers for WGCR, where I may not be the one doing the
updates (due to sickness or whatnot).
For that matter, I can even do ardour RPM's, along with all the dependencies,
at some point, when I get time to do so.
Other than that, ardour is getting closer, from what I've read, to what I
need. Now if ALSA only did Layla, which I have...
