No. Exporting an ardour-session uses freewheeling-mode where it runs as fast 
as processor/apps allow and not in realtime...

Which is allows as the output-meter shows the summed volume of all frequencies 
while the spectrum shows individual frequency-bands.

Did you actually export the result of jamin?

The should-be setup for mastering is using jamin as an insert on the master 
track. And export saves the sound of the master-track... (No need to record 
jamins output into another track!)

If that is clipped, you have done something wrong in jamin, but if jamin 
doesn't clip, the export should be okay.
