[linux-audio-user] Mastering; Rezound, fir filter, digital clipping

[Jan Depner]

One thing that JAMIN has now that won't be a plugin is a 1024 band
hand-drawn EQ with slide-able "parametric" notch and shelf filters. 
This is the advantage of not knowing what you're doing when you start on
an application.  Steve understood what we were doing but I was just
guessing ;-)
