These entries should be fine, just make sure that:

1) You DON'T have the APT entry of 64 Studio stable on (it still
   refers to the old 1.0 release), so if you have a line like:

   deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/stable/ 64studio main

   please comment it

2) You have the new /etc/apt/preferences file shipped with the 1.3.0
   release, if you don't grab it here:

   http://www.64studio.com/browser/64studio/trunk/apt/preferences?format=raw

3) You DON'T have APT entries for Debian/testing or Debian/unstable, but rather
   ONLY for Debian/stable, i.e. etch

After that is safe to run dist-upgrade, if APT wants to downgrade
packages it means that you have pulled in some things from lenny, I
think you won't miss them :)

I've built ardour2 for etch, it will be soon in the testing
repository, in the meantime you can use this repo if you really need
it now:

deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports etch main

Ciao!
