For one thing, the Sonic Solutions studio I've worked in a couple times and sent our clients to for about 20 years retails for about $8,000.00 USD. Well, that's what the engineer told me. I've never actually looked into it so that figure could be completely wrong. Maybe it's $80.00 USD :) A great preview of the possibilities that I see for a jackd mastering chain is Rezound to JAMin. Neither application has jackd transport control but if they both have it we've almost got Sonic Solutions by the throat. Transport control for JAMin is actively being developed now. There's some wav viewing functionality that could be written into Rezound that would greatly enhance the mastering task. But Rezound almost has that covered already. IMO, this is a very promising environment. BTW, the only jack client wav editer/player at the moment is Rezound. ron > Cheers > > Daniel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
