Hello dear all,
Is there a way to make working Jamin in Ubuntu-Studio 24.04 ?
Or an alternative purposing what Jamin is doing ?
Many thanks,

According to this website, it is in apt repository.
There are instructions included in link:
Jamin is prehistoric so if you want to ‘master’ yourself, I’d argue it’s best to just add some other plugins on your mixbus to EQ / compress / excite / saturate / clip / limit as desired.
Tonnes of free and non-free options available. For free, try the x42 and/or LSP plugins. Airwindows plugins are also FOSS but they’re GUI-less so no metering there in case that’s important to you (in my opinion, Airwindows plugins are fantastic and the lack of GUI is a good thing).
Yes I though too, but after install it is not possible to launch Jamin, and it seems I’m not the only one to have this pb … :

Hi Willy, thanks for your reply, I didn’t knew “Airwindows”, will try asap.
These are also good free plugins :
And
Jamin was a tool that did a lot of things, but wasn’t particularly good at any (notably the FIR EQ mode had various issues).
Also since it is an external JACK application its state is not saved with the session, plugins are preferable.
Jamin was commonly used as master EQ, multiband compressor, and brickwall limiter.
EQ - on master try something subtle (if any EQ at all)
Multiband Compressor
For limiter I can offer (and recommend) x42 Digital Peak Limiter
A maximizer as was offered by jamin, is outdated. These days mastered songs or albums need to adhere to loudness standards.
Ardour offers various presets for streaming services directly in the Export Dialog, or you can use the built in loudness analyzer/normalizer to assist your manual mastering mix.
Thank you very much dear Robin for your answer very interesting and detailed.
From Ubuntu Jamin Packagers :
"Jamin hasn’t seen any development since some Czech translations were
added in 2015 [1] and is suffering bit rot. As such, we removed it from
Ubuntu Studio’s default installation in 2021[2]. Additionally, it fails
to build from source using GCC-14[3], which will likely cause it to be
removed from Ubuntu and Debian in the very near future.
Based on all of this, it is dead upstream and the author has lost
interest in developing it. I suggest finding alternatives and cease
depending on it in your workflow.
