Re: what's the best software to use for mastering???
Mix down in your DAW. Wavelab and SoundForge will both give the same results for mastering (why you would buy both, I have no idea).
IF you want to get lazy, AAMS is automated mastering software that does a surprisingly good job. I often have to turn around mock ups in a short space of time, and AAMS comes through for me time and time again. I'm not sure I'd use it on a final commercial release, but come to think of it, I don't think I'd trust my ears to master a commercial release either. I'd rather put it in the hands of a specialist.
In order to make good use of good mastering software, you need to have a really good room set up. Mastering software on its own, is never going to do everything for you.
