Mark, Thanks for your reply. Previously I had asked if anyone would be interested in my packaging some of my work so that others could use it. As you may know, this can be a daunting task, and I wanted to know whether or not anyone would find the "capability" useful before dumping a lot of time in creating a useable "program." It's like before I build you a car, I ask you if you have any need for transportation. If everyone is happy with the second (and fourth) clip, then I won't bother trying to write the requisite GUI interface and docs that I need to convince everyone to look at. I'm perfectly happy with my command-line and scripts, what I have called a "retro-UNIX" environment, for audio. So my question is whether or not anyone else has a use or need for this type of sound --- vastly improved headphone sound? This is a way of creating accurate but simulated binaural recordings for larger rooms from a monophonic, dry signal. It's a better way of producing what you actually hear in a room than that which is done with the typical mixer and synth. Thanks again for your response. Regards, Dave.

Hi, --- Joern Nettingsmeier <nettings(a)folkwang-hochschule.de> wrote: WARNING: I am going to over react to Joern's reasonable suggestion because JAMin has recently included another feature that I strongly argued against. So, please have patience with me. I don't have a life and I'm a loser. :) JAMin is a very good tool. For the most part, it is not the result of an experiment. It is a well thought out design of typical and expected tools for the specific task of mastering stereo audio files. It is a very clean, easy to use and unbloated application that is being used in real world installations. This makes it very different from something like ecamegapedal or any other effect where experimentation is the rule for producing awesome and unexpected results. In its currernt feature set, there are only two things that distinguish JAMin from the typical set of mastering tools. They are Jan's parametric style EQ controls in a graphic interface and the inherited features of JACK--multitrack sources, transport awareness, etc. Because JAMin is typical, it can be counted on to perform its intended task. This accountability is very important. 3-D Audio might be the greatest thing since vacume tubes but that can be determined by creating a 3-D Audio JACK client or LADSPA plugins. I'd love to see that happen. Incidentally, room accoustics is one of the topics within my set of obsessions. Of course it'd be hard to call myself an audio engineer if I wasn't obsessed with it. Again, I'm sorry to fire off this big flashing yellow lite message but I hope that my perspective on JAMin is interesting. And maybe it's everyone's lucky day because I don't have time to write a large meandering letter. I've got to go hang about 320 square feet of sound modules that my partner and I built and designed for two flat EQ response rooms with .3 and .1 reverberation times. ron __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

can it be made to work in real-time? if so, i can see the word LADSPA written all over it :-D (which btw would save you a lot of packaging work and all of the tedious gui stuff). it might also be interesting for the jamin developers to take a look at this.
