Short answer: Yes, you should employ JAMin and work at
mastering your
work before printing to disc.
Longer response: Learn by doing. JAMin isn't a terribly difficult app to
learn, but learning exacty what doses of which process to utilize, that
takes some time and experimentation. For example, compression was
something of a black art to me, but I've learned much more about it by
playing around with JAMin's excellent tools.
Ok, I played around with jamin and read a bit here and there [1], but if
possible it's now even blacker magic to me. If anyone would give a
practical example of what I'm missing, I uploaded one of the songs to
http://atte.dk/download/holde_pkt.ogg. It seems like jamin can save it's
settings to a .jam file, so if someone would be so super-kind and mess
around with jamin's settings (making my song sound like a dream :-)),
post the .jam file *and* (most importantly) explain the reasoning behind
the decisions that went into that .jam, I think I can start to
understand a little bit...
I hope I'm not sounding like trying to get a master for free here, but
I'm really eager to learn. If nobody wants to waste their time on this,
I understand...
