I'm an old pro at songwriting, performing and recording (I'm presently recording with a Roland VS-1880 Digital Studio) ... but now I'm getting into mastering my own tracks on my Mac G4 - OS X and trying to educate myself on the processes.

I'm trying to decide which one of two mastering programs I want to purchase:
1 - T-RackS - my favorite so far ... tube sounds and mastering ONLY.
2 - Sound Forge 7.0

Is anyone familiar with either of these? Or do you have other suggestions? ProTools is a bit pricey ... especially considering I ONLY want a mastering suite.

Thanks.

Well, I'm not quite sure exactly what you are saying but mastering
will not change the 'soul' or heart inherent to magical music.
Miles, 'Trane, the Beatles, Brian Wilson, Ray Charles, Aretha, Mavis and whatever geniuses inspire you and I, all had their recordings mastered. That's what this thread is about. Mastering does not affect 'soul' and 'heart' and inspiration. It just creates esiar access.
peace,
