Subject: [linux-audio-user] [ANN] jamin-0.9.0 release

The second stable release (0.9.0) of JAMin - the JACK Audio Mastering
interface is now available for download.

JAMin is a GPL-licensed, realtime mastering processor designed to
bring out the detail in recorded music and provide a final layer of
polish. Every effort has been made to ensure a clean, distortion-free
signal path. All processing elements use linear-phase filtering to
eliminate phase distortion.

JAMin runs on Linux using the JACK Audio Connection Kit, a low-latency
audio server. JACK connects multiple applications to a single sound
device, and also share audio among themselves. We rely on other JACK
applications (like ardour, ecasound, or rezound) for playback and
recording.

Changes since jamin-0.8.0

        * Limiter improvements:
          -- uses new fast lookahead limiter (LADSPA:1913) from the
          swh-plugins >= 0.4.6. The old limiter had some undesirable
          sonic artifacts.
          -- changed order of final gain and limiter stages.

        * OSC control for scene changes:
          -- accepts "osc.udp://localhost:4444/jamin/scene" messages
          -- new `jamin-scene' command sends them
          -- new jamin-cont plugin (LADSPA:1912) sends scene change
             messages to the JAMin process via OSC.

             (This plugin works with ardour, ecamegapedal and
             applyplugin, but segfaults in jack-rack when removed.)

        * Increase number of scenes from 6 to 20

        * GUI improvements
          -- extensive context-sensitive help
          -- color editor for highlights and text
          -- options pulldown menu for spectrum, crossfade, and EQ

        * Better bypass control
          -- specific bypass controls for EQ and limiter
          -- separate Active/Solo/Bypass for each crossover band

        * Global state settings saved in XML file.

        * Expanded Russian translation

        * Many bug fixes.
