Need Cheap Mastering Software...
Im looking for a mastering program... I want to be able to arrange all my bounced-to-disk tracks and do some final volume tweaking, maybe tweak the spaces in between each song etc.... and then burn a final master cd for dupping...I know of Digi's "Masterlist", but at the whopping price of $495.. They can keep it!
Anyways....Im running PC, Windows ME.... Any help is appreciated... THANX

Vox,
Wavelab (by Steinberg) is a great program for this. I have and use it with great success. I'm not sure you meant by cheap, but Wavelab is about $300. If it's in your price range, this program would be able to do what you want to do. A cheaper program that can burn CDs, create and print CD labels and does some wave manipulation (volume, normalization, etc) is Nero. Nero is $50. I also have Nero and use it only for burning of data files to CD, but it can be used like Wavelab for some minor audio functions like volume adjustments, etc I have NOT used it in this way and cannot speak of "how" it performs, but it performs the data burning functions that I use it for flawlessly. Go to Ahead's website at http://www.nero.com/en/download.htm You can get a 30-day demo (fully functioning demo) and try it out for yourself. After the demo period, the program needs an authorization code to work. Rev E

You also might wanna check T-racks. I think it's www.t-racks.com It's around 200$ I believe, and it's more of a dedicated mastering program, though I would recommend wavelab first.

Eurythmic...
Been there Done it.... My music is a hobby and I have gotten great compliments about my mastering from pro-mastering engineers....I like my sound and heck, I enjoy doing it.  I think you might have misunderstood my inquiry... It's not the actual sound mastering that is my problem.... What I need is a program to arrange all my already-mastered tracks.

Wavelab would be your best bet, it comes with a nice little setup to burn cds as well allowing you to not have to use a bunch of different programs between mixing and the final cd.
It's really easy to use too, I prefer it to most of the stand alone wave editing programs. You may not be looking to spend that much money, but it will be well worth it in the long when you figure out everything it can do for you. ~brandon

I would also concure with the recommendations for Wavelab. Great mastering/wave editing program, which also allows you to burn CD's with complete control over CD layout.
BTW, PapillonIrl, Ozone is not a mastering program. Rather it is a mastering plug-in (along the lines of Waves Ltd.) that can used within a mastering program. I have heard good things about it, but it is not a standalone product.

When you say "What I need is a program to arrange all my already-mastered tracks" do you mean just ordering them on a CDR? If so, any CD Burning program will do that - Nero, EZCD Creator, etc.
I believe Sound Forge will also set up CD Burns, as well as Music match. As for actually "mastering" tracks, I use Sound Forge for my own unholy experiments in this arcane field. I have not used Wavelab, do they have a downloadable demo version I can check out? And if so, does anyone know the website? Last edited by RWhite; 01-10-2002 at 12:48..

Thanks Dach!
Yes, I have to be careful using that word "Mastering", I don't want to set off another 40 page thread. Chessrock understands! But I DO have a mastering question - I'm trying to learn all mastering secrets & knowlage at once. Study, experimenting, & hard work just seem SO old fashioned. I downloaded the Alan Parsons plug-in but it doesn't seem to work. So, I've sacrificed a goat, spread its entrails in a circle arround my studio, and danced naked arround it. But the knowledge still wont come to me.... what could I possibly be doing wrong????

Or Obviously...
"I've sacrificed a goat, spread its entrails in a circle arround my studio, and danced naked arround it. But the knowledge still wont come to me.... what could I possibly be doing wrong????"
...You are dancing in the wrong direction... Are you dancing clockwise or counter-clockwise???

And then theres the spaces in between songs etc.... Unfortunately the Adeptec EZ creator doesn't do that stuff.... I guess I could make my wafeform a bit longer before I bounce the stereo master to disk and fiddle with my track spacing there, but the *proper* way to do it, is with Wavelab or Masterlist...
