What is The BEST Software to MASTER tracks!?

To all respected Trance Producer,

Can anyone suggest a best software to master/equalize TRACKS?
Now im using FL Studio 4.5.2.. after taking a long time of hardwork to arrange/decorate my Track/Remixs, i always have a hard time to Equalize/Master my traxx... i find out my MASTERING is really sux..

So can someone help me out on this?

Can someone tell me how to master a Track on FL studio/ maybe can anyone recommend a good software to mastered a TRaxx...

Thank You!

It is a Standalone Program. Aint a VST program that you can load in FL or Cubase, Logic.

On the program, go to Load song. Thats all and you ready to rock and roll the song.

Cheers

there's something that I like to call a little bit of magic...it really is magic I swear! anyway it's called Yamaha Final Master..should be called Final Magic...it is the best damn mastering plugin you can possibly ever get and its not that expensive and worth worth every damn penny.

Waves mastering plugs with iZotope Ozone 2, can't get better than that.

Anyway, try to make your tracks as good as possible without mastering, then in the end you only need to maximise/normalise it.

like mr. Mystery said, try to make it perfect in the mix than in the master, it's always better in the end

mastering should generally only include two things:

minimal EQing: if you find yourself cranking up the values on the EQ more then around one db, then go back to mixingstage and redoo it

maximizing: the mainpart of mastering, this includes multibandcompressing the track both before and after the EQ-stage and then putting a good limiter on it in the end of the chain (at least that's how I doo it)

good tools for mastering, well it depends on what you like to use...

In my opinion all you need is wavelab & waves mastersbundle (that's all I use and it works perfect for me)

apart frmo that all you need is experience

yes its vst!! but yet again i wil restate the obvious...make sure your tracks sounds clean even before you hit the mastering stage.

get a Wavelab 4.0 for mastering and Waves plug-ins
works the best and read this link below:

that guide on trance.nu wasn't the best I've read if I might say so but it might work if you don't know jack about the subject
