What software do you use to do your own mastering?

Do you use your DAW or a specific piece of software, such as WaveLab?

Thanks

I use my DAW (Reaper) except to create DDP images for CD replication which I do with Wavelab.

I use Reaper as well, as Renoise isn't exactly the most convenient DAW to handle audio tracks.

Wavelab + Ozone + FabFilter Pro-L handle the majority of my mastering/finalizing needs.

I generally do stuff in Audacity except for adjusting track mix levels, which is done in-DAW. So all captured audio preparation is done in Audacity as is finalisation of the mix.

I suck at it, but Samplitude is fantastic for mastering..I get this from those who do it for a living on the Samp forums...tbh though not only mastering but also mixing are my weak points and I have decided that it's better to shop those out to compliment my playing.

I used Wavelab + Waves plugins many years ago, but only using Ozone 7 Advanced now. The new version of Wavelab is interesting though.

Uh huh, so then, what software do you use for all your amateur mastering?

Oh, SNAP!

(Do...do the kids still say that? I don't wanna look like I'm clueless.)

I use SoundForge for all my amateur and professional mastering. I like the work flow a bit better than WaveLab, though that certainly has its strengths.

Haha.. yeah I just wanted to put it out there.. A lot of people seem to consider Reaper somehow not a 'pro' product - I bust that myth everyday lol

One can 'master' in just about any environment that allows plug in hosting.

What software do you use to do mastering?
