I do my mastering in SONAR (I work for Cakewalk so I'm biased) with Waves Native Gold Bundle plug-ins. I find the C4 compressor to be essential to my mastering process. I just found a new mastering plug-in that I'm probably going to start using. It's by Izotope and the plug-in is named Ozone. http://www.thedirectxfiles.com/manufacturers/iz_ozone.htm. The sound quality is awesome (it uses 64-bit processing) and it features a paragraphic EQ, loudness maximizer, multiband dynamics, multiband stereo imager (keep the bass tight, spread the harmonics, etc), multiband harmonic exciter, a mastering reverb, and spectrum and phase meters all in one plug-in. I really like the interface, you'll need to see it to understand. My only complaint is that it's really processor intensive, and I can only run 4 or 5 of its effects simultaneously in SONAR on my decrepit Pentium II - 333 MHz with 384 MB of RAM. I'm running SONAR on a system under its minimum requirements so I guess I shouldn't complain.

I like to try various permutations of my songs when creating CD-R's. The Masterlink seems like a good tool. By the way, most of my stuff is presently on zip disks from a Roland VS-840EX. Some have been copied into my PC from a TASCAM 788, as well. By the same token, I have a fast PC with a lot of storage that's not seeing much use. I could bring my songs into the PC and use some suitable software to do the same function. What software, though? Regards, Paul "The fool searches for a fart in a dark room"
