iZotope Ozone
PC/Mac, $249
iZotope's Ozone has grown into one of the best software mastering options available.
The latest version (5) features seven main processors: two identical parametric EQ sections; dynamics; stereo imaging; harmonic exciter; reverb; and a maximiser with dither. These appear on seven module pages, each selected from the master controls at the bottom.
Once you get inside this plug-in, you'll find that its uses go way beyond mastering, which could be the justification you need to shell out the extra for the Advanced version (this costs $999).
Whichever you go for, though, you can rest assured that you’re getting a seriously impressive set of tools.
