Just to be clear, I've never used Ozone in my work, although I certainly could use the linear phase EQ for mastering without hesitation.  It can be a very effective tool for home-brew mastering, as long as it's not abused. 
 
These days, my mastering revolves around an Alan Smart C1 and a Manley Massive Passive.   Occasionally I'll get a project with the budget to rent a 2-inch tape machine, which is my favorite 'compressor'.  I also use the Algorythmix EQs when I need to do precise surgery.  On very rare occasions, I'll use a maul-da-band compressor, but only in desparation! 
 
For mixing, I use UAD plugins extensively.  The large variety of colors for compression and EQ have made mixing in the box a pleasure.   If UAD ever releases virtual versions of the Manley Vari-Mu and the Massive Passive, I will probably dispense of the mastering hardware.

First. Thank you Jonas!  A stunning eye opener for a total newbie...

It seems a rite of passage to find and download the template
You've finally joined the forum once you do and go "huh?"

I did the little drawing of the busses above to help myself start to sort it out.  Still working on the signal portion.  Hope it's accurate, and someone finds it useful!

Wow!  Those diagrams are cooler than the template itself!  Great job on this.

The rest of the signal routings...

For all my projects I have two tracks that are labeled as MIX 1 and MIX 2.

These route to the MAIN OUT bus,
    a bus with only a voxengo span and a vintage meter in the effects bin

The MASTER MIX bus is routed to the MAIN OUT bus.

This way, after bouncing to tracks for a mix, I can listen to the bounced track without having to change any outputs, or bypass any effects on the MASTER bus,...
