I don't know that you will need JACK for creating the actual CD master,
since that comes *after* you have done the pre-mastering with the Ardour
-> Jamin -> Ardour stream. Once you have your tracks pre-mastered, then
you bring them into something like gcdmaster and start arranging things
for the actual CD layout.
You might want to upgrade all of those. They are a bit old!

If you're
running JACK, then master with JAMin. I
recently built a mastering demo session that perfectly
demonstrates what I consider the best way to aproach
the audio mastering part of your task. Unfortunately,
there were issues within Ardour so the demo needs to
be replaced.
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?). If you're
interested in Ardour (source) -> JAMin ->
Ardour (return bus) then I'll try to keep you up to
date on my progress with a demo session.
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?
