and while we are at small annoyances: there appears to be no way to quickly reload a wave file in audacity. and that may be unfixable, since if you're loading a wav file, you're really just creating a new project which has no idea, nor does it care, where its tracks come from once they're loaded.
so you're thinking "a different open source audio editor then", but people would say "NO DUMMY! we have audacity! why would we need another wave editor!"
well, uh, so we can reload files, obviously
i thought it was hyperbole, but no. there is no other wave file editor on linux besides audacity. tenacity is a fork that, while apparently fixing some political issues and adding some new features, inherits the same fundamental architectural problems.
all other editors for linux are closed. some are free, but you'll have to run their dirty closed-off and possibly backdoored binaries on your pristine omniscient panopticOS.
that means there is a niche for a Cool Edit Pro OSS clone on linux.
