I use all of the Waves Masters Bundle for this sort of job, and I'm just speaking from my personal experience when I say that the times I've done *more* in what I call 'my' mastering step in the end I've been less satisfied with the results long term. I meant what I said earlier. I think there's a very tempting aspect about all the control JAMin gives you that may actually work against you in the end. Get it right in the mix and there's less to do in mastering. It becomes more of a job of putting 12 songs in a row in a way that all hangs together. I do think that the scenes feature in JAMin is quite intriguing in a mastering tool though, but I admit I've been scared to try it for fear that when transitioning from scene to scene the tool would leave artifacts if scenes were verse and chorus as the web site sort of advertises. I want to try that one day soon. > > Is it possible to provide parametric user interface controls for our > underlying 1000-band FFT-based equalizer?

Anything happening in terms of someone developing the Linux equivalent of a program like CD Architect? One of these days someone's going to want to build overlapped songs with separate track points for each song. I don't think we have a tool to do that yet, and to really do mastering we need to be able to do the whole job. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
