Thanks DR, BD, CC, and Sidroe....you guys rock!!! I know that the mastering process is a whole different art form and will take some time to properly grasp.....I'll certainly look into the plugs I already have and learn more about mastering.
This whole thread was due to a quick GAS attack.....which apparently took away my ability to reason.

You said you have T-Racks deluxe..., well they will be having all kinds of sales over the holidays. You may want to upgrade to T-Racks grand. T-racks is a little underrated IMHO. It is due for an update, but the audio is just fine as is. I use ARC 2 on everything and I love the ARC 2 integration.

Meshman, found some user reviews on the net:

“The Mastering I and II software effects are worth the price of EZmix2. Overall, in EZmix2 are great Mastering tools, great acoustic guitar effects, and a lot of great vocal effects (A lot of which are in just EZ Mix 2 without the other packs)” (Amazon.com)
“EZMix 2 with the "Mastering Pack" is proving to be quit useful for my little nostalgia trip.” (GearSlutz)
“I downloaded the Masters I & II, Drums, Modern Pop/Rock, Songwriter and The Mix Toolbox. At this price you can't beat it. Working with several different groups and genres in my project studio, this takes some of the work of experimenting with combinations and chains of plug-ins.” (Engineer)
"EZmix 2 + Mastering pack is a KILLER combo. EZmix 2 is a great tool to start with but the Mastering EZmix pack is FANTASTIC" (dawfreak)

I bought in to the EZMix 2 deal about a 2 years ago. I already had Ozone 5! EzMix looked so, well, EZ!!! After trying it out for several months it now sits in my virtual FX rack gathering dust! I never have used it on a finished project because I just did not have the editing capabilities I needed from it. While it does what it does well, it is the lack of user control that killed the deal for me. It would work well for someone who is in a hurry or a quick bedroom demo but I for one need serious control to hone my masters. Some mastering projects I get have serious problems that need more than a quick preset that I can't even control the one problem area I need! Every mix has it's own unique problems in mastering and if you are serious about what you do you will need COMPLETE editing capabilities for the means to justify the ends!

When I want to put some bite into my bass tracks I use the EZMix (1 I think) Bass Chorus in paralel to my dry track. That is just EZ.
