I don't know that you will need JACK for creating the actual CD master, since that comes *after* you have done the pre-mastering with the Ardour -> Jamin -> Ardour stream. Once you have your tracks pre-mastered, then you bring them into something like gcdmaster and start arranging things for the actual CD layout. >>If you're interested in Ardour (source) -> JAMin -> >>Ardour (return bus) then I'll try to keep you up to >>date on my progress with a demo session. > > > Return bus?!

You might want to upgrade all of those. They are a bit old! -- Brett
