Re: What tools are you missing
I'd love a realtime spectrogram-drawing plugin 
So I could plug it somewhere in my session and see what comes in there...

The calf plugins from git are amazing and will be a great day when they are released as stable. I would like to see mono versions tho, maybe mono versions will be included before release.

Re: What tools are you missing
I also strongly miss a program to tap tempo.
The best would be a simple command-line app, where you can run it, and tap apace with it showing calculated BPM value.
I tried to find anything to do that for linux but I heaven't.
That would greatly simplify finding optimal tempo for songs and such...

'gtick' has 'tap tempo' support.
It's GUI though, and doesn't seem to work all that well: the tempo quickly changes a lot - if I'd have to guess I think they only look at the last tap, instead of 'averaging out' the speeds of the last few taps.

I use gtklick for that. http://das.nasophon.de/gtklick/
Tap with Enter key

Oh wow, weird coincidence. I just posted about a tap tempo utility I wrote in this thread.

I was never able to get the results I wanted out of Jammin', and damn I tried and tried and tried. Now I just use some VST plugins to do all my mastering stuff. I have numerous small complaints about Jammin', but basically, it just barely misses the mark for me. Oh well.

Yes! On my wish list too.
Re: What tools are you missing
I think you better of using plugins (Calf, LinuxDSP, ...) for mastering these days.

Agreed. For some projects I use a Jack-rack with EQ, Compressor, and a Limiter and I feel like I get better control and better results than with Jamin', surprisingly.

One of my lecturers was an amazing mastering engineer and he never (to my knoledge) used a dedicated mastering suite. He gets paid a lot of money for his private work here in Australia. It isn't the thousands of $ worth of gear that makes a good mix or master, it's the person using it. I know this for a fact, I have heard terrible mixes come from Neve and SSL consoles with all the outboard and Mics money can buy. Just drop by your nearest SAE and you will hear what I am talking about. Those private institution guys used to laugh at the equipment my university was using, I used to laugh at their mic placement, mixes, and general lack of knowledge.
