It would be very useful for many users (including myself) if Audacity had some way / mode that allowed it to be used as an external editor with real-time DAW applications (such as Reaper, Ardour, ProTools,....)
I seem to remember there was a discussion about this with regard to Ardour several years ago. One of the Ardour developers wrote about it on this forum (sorry I can't find it now) and may have discussed it with the Audacity developers. From my recollection I think that the outcome was that such a feature was possible, but nothing came of it.
This feature request probably comes up more often on the Ardour forum than it does here - there is definitely a user demand.
