randomly found this while browsing the Alpine repository: ecasound. I've been dreaming of a simple and composable suite of programmes for manipulating live audio. the workflow of #max/msp, #puredata and the like never felt natural to me.

Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling

The basic working principle of ecasound is similar to the widely used gdb (software debugging) and mysql (database admin) tools. Ecasound allows the user to perform most common tasks directly from the terminal console

now I want to try this so much, hoping there’s a guide or a book or something.
