a study on audio mastering. Hopefully this

that I've been working on.
I look forward to reading that. Mastering is a mystery to me, so I've
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 think thats going to be good, the author and publisher (focal press) has
a good reputation, other books I've read in thier series have been good.
Tell us what its like.
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.
Its now a jack app (which mostly uses LADSPA for its processing):
http://sf.net/projects/jamin its nearing the stage where feedback on the
UI and sound quality would be useful, so if you have any spare testing
cycles please join the list.
