I've noticed that audio mastering is a mystery to many

easy and B, digital audio mastering produces great

There is a linux mastering tool. It hasn't been
announced yet because it's in an alpha stage of
development which is why I didn't mention the
application name in the original letter. But the cat
is out of the bag, see jamin.sourceforge.net.
Hope you like JAMIN too,

I look forward to reading that. Mastering is a
mystery to me, just sent off for a book called Mastering Audio -
the Art and the
Science by Bob Katz. Are there any other titles that
list members
could recommend on the subject?
I know there are specialist mastering applications
on other platforms,
but what are the options on Linux? I know Audacity
has recently added
a gui compressor, and Glame used to have a great
normalisation tool.
Plus there's quite a few relevant LADSPA plugins - I
know Steve
Harris was working on a mastering toolkit.
It seems to me we've got all the elements there, but
they haven't
really been drawn together specifically for
mastering yet. I'm just
compiling Glame 1.0 now to see what that's like.
Cheers
Daniel
