[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] jamin-0.9.0 release

The second stable release (0.9.0) of JAMin - the JACK Audio Mastering interface is now available for download. JAMin is a GPL-licensed, realtime mastering processor designed to bring out the detail in recorded music and provide a final layer of polish. Every effort has been made to ensure a clean, distortion-free signal path. All processing elements use linear-phase filtering to eliminate phase distortion. JAMin runs on Linux using the JACK Audio Connection Kit, a low-latency audio server. JACK connects multiple applications to a single sound device, and also share audio among themselves. We rely on other JACK applications (like ardour, ecasound, or rezound) for playback and recording.

Usage instructions http://jamin.sourceforge.net/Using_JAMin.html Changes since jamin-0.8.0 * Limiter improvements: -- uses new fast lookahead limiter (LADSPA:1913) from the swh-plugins >= 0.4.6. The old limiter had some undesirable sonic artifacts. -- changed order of final gain and limiter stages. * OSC control for scene changes: -- accepts "osc.udp://localhost:4444/jamin/scene" messages -- new `jamin-scene' command sends them -- new jamin-cont plugin (LADSPA:1912) sends scene change messages to the JAMin process via OSC. (This plugin works with ardour, ecamegapedal and applyplugin, but segfaults in jack-rack when removed.) * Increase number of scenes from 6 to 20 * GUI improvements -- extensive context-sensitive help -- color editor for highlights and text -- options pulldown menu for spectrum, crossfade, and EQ * Better bypass control -- specific bypass controls for EQ and limiter -- separate Active/Solo/Bypass for each crossover band * Global state settings saved in XML file. * Expanded Russian translation * Many bug fixes. -- joq
