Hi,
Joe, great points. I'm all for explaining eq,
compression and limiting to the best of our abilities.
They're the mastering engineers toolset.
I've got the xml docbook framework for a JAM book
marked up including make files. When I find my old
TOC, I'll add those documents to these.
Is sourceforge running the required tools to generate
html from the xml? If not, Steve or Jan, do either of
you have a CVS server and the docbook tools installed
somewhere so we could put this stuff on one of your
servers?
I don't want to take the time to build the environment
myself. I'd rather start testing JAM and writing
content.

I suspect alot of aspiring engineers and
musicians
don't understand what mastering is so it might be
important for us to explain to people how it
differs
from mixing.
This, I think, is the crux of the biscuit. It took
me
years to realize that a significant portion of the
things
I was trying to accomplish in the mixing phase were
really
mastering issues.
While I think this is not the right place for a
textbook on
compression, we will have to give a primer on the
basics
of compression as it pertains to mastering.
Learning just
a smidge about that made the final version of a
project I
was working on come alive!
More importantly, good documentation is NOT written
by running
through the menus and writing a paragraph on each
one. Such
reference is handy, but I feel it is more important
to explain
the work flow of a tool, explaining what the most
likely tweaks
are at each stage and how to access them.
I look forward to subscribing to yet another mailing
list :)
