Would it be possible to use Obs-studio? I have never used it, but a
quick search of their website showed it is possible to mixed several
video sources, and also syncronise a separate audio source using the
delay setting in the mixer.

I have been watching several TV shows with bands playing songs together,
whilst "Coronavirus isolated" in their own separate home studios. It was
good to see the pros using similar setups to mine, but with more
expensive gear! I saw lots of Macs and ProTools. I have not done it
myself, but I assume you would use Ardour to bounce the audio tracks
around the different band members/sections?

Incidentally, there have been some attempts to get cinelerra into Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=331072
If you were willing to learn Debian packaging, you could try and revive
that effort. Or you could try and convince one of the Debian Developers
that are interested to restart there efforts.

Cheers,

Ross
