Sonar for Mastering.

Hi,
What are peoples thoughts on using sonar to import you're finished mix, then use it as a mastering platform utilising all you available plug-ins.

Would WaveLab, or Adobe Audition be a better choice?

What platform do you use?

Thanks.
Adrian.

    Lots of people do it. Sonar Plat has everything you need to master even has some templates to get you started  BUT .. I like using Ozone.

    I think it is like most things - good mastering is more dependent on the practitioner than the tool they are using. A good mastering engineer can make a song sound good whether they use Sonar, Ozone or even Audacity.

    I have used and do use Sonar for mastering. I also have Soundforge and I have Studio one 3. I prefer Sonar.

    Use what you've got, that's my philosophy. SONAR's as good a platform as any for mastering. SONAR + Ozone can't be beat, IMO.
     
    The only thing better would be to turn your stuff over to a second set of ears and let someone else do the mastering in another room, perhaps with better speakers than you have. 


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
