JAMin is a software interface for audio mastering that utilizes the JACK Audio Connection Kit (JACK) technology.
JAMin is a software designed for professional audio mastering of stereo input streams using the JACK Audio Connection Kit (JACK) Audio Mastering interface. It is an open source application that uses LADSPA for digital signal processing (DSP). JAMin comes loaded with several features such as linear filters, JACK I/O, 30 band graphic EQ, 1023 band hand drawn EQ with parametric controls, spectrum analyzer, 3 band peak compressor, lookahead brickwall limiter, multiband stereo processing, presets and scenes, and loudness maximizer.
However, to use JAMin, you need to meet some requirements such as the ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture), JACK (JACK Audio Connection Kit), LADSPA (Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plug-in API), SWH plug-ins (Steve Harris' LADSPA plug-ins), FFTW (Fastest Fourier Transform in the West), liblo (an implementation of OSC protocol), libsndfile (Erik de Castro Lopo's sound file I/O), and GTK (The GIMP Toolkit). Since JAMin uses FFT, it is quite CPU and memory hungry, so it is recommended to use the most recent hardware, ideally 2 CPU. However, it has been reported that running an AMD Athlon 1700+ (1.46 GHz) with 512 Mbyte PC133 memory makes it run real running Ardour->JAMin->Ardour with 12-16 tracks plus effects with no problem.
Overall, JAMin is a powerful audio mastering tool that offers numerous features to maximize audio quality. It is suitable for audio engineers and music producers who wish to achieve professional audio quality on their audio projects.
