I'm getting close to finishing a lot of my songs and I'm down to just listening through them and putting vocals on the ones I'm happy with. Many years ago I used to love T-racks 24 for mastering but for many reason, it's unusable. What is the cheapest way of achieving what that program did? Is the way forward to now use mastering plugins rather than standalone?

Hi,
Any recommendations of FREE useful Plugins for Mixing & Mastering?

I guess this is something I should have asked long ago.

I've been putting this chain together

EQ
Multiband compression
Magnetic simulation
Limiter
Maximizer/Dither

What other good plugin chains are good to use when mastering?

Hi, I am new here and am looking for some advice on using Waves plugins for mastering. I just got the Platinum bundle and am a slight novice. Any tutorial help would be great as well. I use Sonar 4.0 PE for seq. wavelab 5.0 for editing plus a boatload of other plugins. Thanks for any help and taking a moment to read this post.
Peace,
Bernie T.

anyone know where I can find some really good plugins for mastering?

Hi friends!
a) has anyone already tested CRane song Plugins?
b) what about Waves Linear Phase Bundle? Is it a big leap from Q10 and L1 + ( which I hate)?
c) What are the main differences between MC2000, TC MASTER X and C4?
I use Q10, L1+, Master X, Power dither.
d) What else is suitable for junior mastering within PT TDM world? GM, Sony stuff?
