By the way, it's only been in the past month or so that I've really
started to dig into JAMin and realize what an astounding effect it
has on the music.  Heck, even when I just put it through and used
the default compressor settings and a bit of EQ, the difference was
big, but now that I'm getting a bit more proficient with it, I realize
now that the mastering phase is what makes the difference between
demos and something worth releasing.

I recently had a friend ask for a CD of some of my playing, and I
went back and took some of my older pieces that I'd felt were finished
and ran them through JAMin...  maybe the difference isn't night and 
day, but it's at least twilight and day!!
