Those are all useful features that I'd like to see
too.
In a version 1 I'd be happy with a JAM dsp chain that
recieves input from Ardour:master[L,R]_playback. Why?
In one word, granularity. If the bass guitar is to
loud in a mix, switch windows to Ardour, make
appropriate adjustments, return to JAM and resume
mastering the stereo image.
There's no need to affect the entire range of the mix
when one instrument is a problem. I think of this as
two issues, problem fixing and mastering.
MMMMM I like JAMIN,

That said, I will spend some time perusing
there again, or if you want to
point me to one that you think does cover these

two separate wave files, intergap &
inter-track
spacing, track points
defined within one wave file (used for defining
the start of a track inside
of a single long performance, like a live take),
track names, I'd certainly
be interested.
There are several that can do everything you
mentioned with regard
to spacing and track points (gcdmaster w/cdrdao is
one), but I
haven't run across one that will do actual audio
processing like
complex fades or cross-fades as well.
There are also a few features of such a proposed
tool that would
be nice for CD mastering:
* quick-jump auditioning between several points to
get a feel for perceived
relative levels on different tracks (ideally,
with very low latency switching)
* integration with Steve's mastering toolkit (JAM)
to make this *the*
tool. I think that JAM should be implemented
plugin-based,
so that a GUI/diskIO tool such as this could
encapsulate all
the mastering needs, *but* other tools can still
make use of
it.
just throwing stuff out....
