It matters not to me if it’s implemented or not, I’m just giving you a fresh eye perspective from what I experienced coming from Reaper to have a look at Ardour’s scripting to see if I can port ReaTrak over from Reaper to give Ardour users the same features, I’m not charging anything for it, and it would be a hard thing for me to do, so it would be an easy way out for me if Ardour is kept how you suggest. This will open the door for other script developers like in the Reaper forum, rather than waiting for something to be implemented it would take the load of the Ardour developers and it can be made that same day with a script that you can make yourself or ask someone.

There is just so much potential there rather than plodding along with how it is, a lot of time and trouble has been put into all those Lua bindings and look how many users there are now because of a Windows release. Remember Winamp ? it was made for users to be able to customize things how they like and not be a slave to how the developer thought you should use it, well, the same guy made Reaper, and it “is pretty much maintained by 2 individuals”. The idea would bring NEW users to Ardour, if you compare the amount of of Reaper users to Ardour users. I think if is was assumed and taken for granted that 'most Ardour users would live without it…I don’t feel like there’s a lot of us looking for this…) we would not have this thread.

Looking at the posts I would say most are in favor to add some Lua GUI elements. The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago the second best time is now. And I think most Ardour users would agree. And honestly, if it gets in the way of the goals that Paul and Robin have already announced, I rather live without it. It’s just that at this point in the game, it would take a monumental re-working of the source code.
