JAMin is the JACK Audio Connection Kit (JACK) Audio Mastering interface. JAMin is an open source application designed to perform professional audio mastering of stereo input streams.

JAMin project uses LADSPA for digital signal processing (DSP).

Here are some key features of "JAMin":
Linear filters
JACK I/O
30 band graphic EQ
1023 band hand drawn EQ with parametric controls
Spectrum analyser
3 band peak compressor
Lookahead brickwall limiter
Multiband stereo processing
Presets and scenes
Loudness maximiser

Requirements:
ALSA — Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
JACK — JACK Audio Connection Kit
LADSPA — Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plug-in API
SWH plug-ins — Steve Harris' LADSPA plug-ins
FFTW — Fastest Fourier Transform in the West
liblo — an implementation of OSC protocol
libsndfile — Erik de Castro Lopo's sound file I/O
GTK — The GIMP Toolkit

Hardware requirements:

JAMin uses FFT, so it's a quite CPU and memory hungry beast. It is recommended to use the most recent hardware, 2 CPU if possible. However, it is reported that running an AMD Athlon 1700+ (1.46 GHz) with 512 Mbyte PC133 memory make it real running Ardour->JAMin->Ardour with 12-16 tracks plus effects with no problem.
