Have you used the HDEQ yet? I actually use the background spectrum to
figure out where to do very small boosts and cuts. Also, by the time
you're mastering you shouldn't really be doing anything else that
requires a lot of CPU power. I normally run Ardour->JAMin->Ardour when
I master and I get about 45% CPU usage on my Athlon 1700+.

Have you considered the possibility of a more standard EQ, maybe 5 bands
that are highly programmable? A linear phase implementation with freq,
gain, Q, HP/LP/BP/shelf as a starting point. Would that save much in CPU
cycles?
The 32 band EQ you all have done is very easy to use, and the little bit
I've done with it sounds good, but it's just my feeling that by the time
I get to the mastering steps I'm not going to do so much tweaking that I
need that amount of flexibility. It's more work to use fewer controls,
like on my Waves Masters Bundle, but it helps me not not get tempted to
play around too much.
Anyway, just my thought, JAMin has really come along and I wouldn't take
this as a negative comment about the program but rather just a comment
on how much of it I'm likely to use.
Thanks,
Mark
