 Seriously, you don't have a mastering problem you  have
  recording and mixing problems.

 Please sexcuse me but I feel forced to ask, why  not
  put a dork port on JAMin so I can stop spending
my
 money in cat houses?

 The TC Mastering 6000 has five bands of dynamics, L3
 multimaximizer has
 five, Waves C4 has four, Izotope Ozone has four.

 Having four can be kinda handy when you want to
 carve out some space to
 bring things like vocals forward a little.
 Especially when mastering in
 sections, when differently treated masters  of the
 same song will be
 edited together afterwards. (Yes it's turd
 polishing, but you don't
 always get to choose what you work with, do you?) 
Very cool strategy. I love it. Virtual hugs dude! I
probably started mastering in 2002. Most of what I do
is my own work which tends to be very easy to deal
with.

The documents I've been writing focus on controling
loudness. I'm going to keep that slant going but it's
obvious that fixing audio is an interesting topic.
Probably one that I don't know much about. If you've
ever want me to document one of your jobs that
requires interesting strategies tar it up. I'm game.

  Three bands of dynamics does fine though, and I'd
 rather have someone
 with a good set of ears using Jamin than some idiot
 squarewaving the lot
 with a tc M6000. Quality of the software is not a
 problem here.

 As far as more bands of parametric eq goes, if you
 need more, most
 plugins will do, I'd just chain them in Linux like
 anywhere else.
 If I'm using loads of bands of parametric when
 mastering, it's so I can
 turn different ones on and off to see what works.
 The scene thing in
 Jamin does the same thing. If there is anything
 really nasty, the
 graphic eq is perhaps a better place to notch it
 out.

 Anyway, is a 'dork port' on the Jamin roadmap? :) 
I definitely don't have a life so I'll place an order
for the industrial port.
