Hi, Joe, great points. I'm all for explaining eq, compression and limiting to the best of our abilities. They're the mastering engineers toolset. I've got the xml docbook framework for a JAM book marked up including make files. When I find my old TOC, I'll add those documents to these. Is sourceforge running the required tools to generate html from the xml? If not, Steve or Jan, do either of you have a CVS server and the docbook tools installed somewhere so we could put this stuff on one of your servers? I don't want to take the time to build the environment myself. I'd rather start testing JAM and writing content. ron --- Joe Hartley <jh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tue, 8 Apr 2003 15:46:37 -0700 (PDT) > R Parker <rtp405@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I suspect alot of aspiring engineers and musicians > > don't understand what mastering is so it might be > > important for us to explain to people how it > differs > > from mixing. > > This, I think, is the crux of the biscuit.
