™ plug-ins to customize arrangements with special audio effects,
as well as a wealth of new and improved features. In Jam 5, music

a graphical waveform interface, a dithering feature that corrects
for distortion, which can occur during audio file conversion, and
new support for audio files with resolutions up to 24 bits. A robust
online help system is new to the product as well.
