I've noticed that audio mastering is a mystery to many
musicians and engineers. If using a well designed
tool, the mystery will evaporate. And yes, that is
contrary to what most of us have heard during our
careers but I stand by the claims that A, mastering is
easy and B, digital audio mastering produces great
results.
There is a linux mastering tool. It hasn't been
announced yet because it's in an alpha stage of
development which is why I didn't mention the
application name in the original letter. But the cat
is out of the bag, see jamin.sourceforge.net.
Hope you like JAMIN too,
