Sound Loom for Linux?
lynx:
I suspect that Sound Loom vexes some people because it is foremost a tool for Trevor, and is therefore built primarily for his needs and workflow. Unlike an application intended for general consumption, SL may require a new user to "get inside" Trevor's head on some level before it starts to make sense. I don't know if this is actually true, however, because I did not find SL the giant obstacle to working with CDP that some on this forum apparently do.
I genuinely empathize with their frustration, however. I've a reasonably technical bent, but I've never been able to get my head around the disjointed workflow of most pro-grade DAW software. Inundated by functionality that does not come together cohesively in my mind, I could never feel "at home" with any of them, whether it be REAPER, Logic, Cakewalk, Pro Tools, etc.--rote memorization isn't one of my strong suits. Watching other musicians cruise around their favourite DAW with minimal frustration and without breaking stride leaves me a little bitter about my ineptitude in this respect.

sorry i messed up your thread. it is a good request. im switching to windows just to use soundloom.
lynx:
No worries!! You did not mess up the thread. :)
sleestack:
have you tried sms tools, lynx? it sounds really good.
lynx:
I haven't! In fact, I hadn't heard of it until you mentioned it. This does look interesting.
On the topic of neat tools that run on Linux, I've always been a fan of Bill Schottstaedt's Snd. Apart from being a very capable sound editor, it has the core generators of CLM (via SndLib) built right in. But the default language binding is Scheme, and I don't think a Python binding has been developed yet.
