I took a look at the JAMin homepage and - wow! - this looks really
promising, but also quite complicated. Up till now I did not run JACK -
in fact I do not understand what it really does (besides lowering
latency which should not help in offline CD mastering?).

Return bus?! I am going to take a look at the documentation on the JAMin
homepage. I hope then I will understand what you are talking about...

My distro (SuSE 9.1) comes with JAMin 0.8.0, Ardour 0.453.1 and jackd
0.94.0. Is this combination okay for mastering live CDs?

Thanks for your help,
