Know what you want.
If you are looking for Dave Pensado in a box, forget about it. If you lack the knowledge, time or money to professionally master your tracks, this can surely help you out.
I tried this just for the hell of it. I master my own tracks and keep on doing that. I like that. Although I''m not about to change my workflow, I was quite surprised about some of the results.
There are a lot of bad reviews around, basically because they don''t want it to work. Mastering engineers that do not feel confident about their skills, might feel threatened by this. Bull of course. We''ve seen the same reactions with Harbal (also an excellent tool).
It is ignorance, which stands in the way of progress. Sony Acid for example never got accepted as a serious DAW, because it is just too easy to use. Snobs like things complicated, because they can show off their skills. That''s why the majority is dwelling on the past. Investing loads of cash in retro-equipment. Because it sounded so good back then. We have new techniques now, some of which are spectacular. So get out of your cave and make some music.
If the author could bring this up to speed, with an up to date interface a.o., this could really have a market.
Try this, take some time to check the workflow and the different preset files, make your own and you''l find it will do a nice job most of the time. If you use a bad mix it will never result in a master piece. Not in a mastering studio, not with this application.
Leaving enough headroom, a well balanced final mix can be nicely mastered with this. Just don''t expect it to be the answer to all your mastering problems. I bet most people will be pleasantly surprised though.

Excellent software
It is more expensive than indicated here, and since you can only buy through the manufacturer, their price is THE price. However, it is worth the money as a utility, training tool, assistant or simply to get a decent job done quickly.
Most engineers will be sceptical of software like this. I was sceptical too. But it really does an excellent job most of the time in automatic mode, and gives you full control over settings so that you can create your masters just the way you want them. It's a little slow in the analysis process, but that's a very minor downside.
It shows you exactly what's going on and what you need to do to make your mixes sound better. A lot better.
Don't let the dated interface or the relatively poor use of the English language in documentation and the web site fool you. This is seriously good software that really deserves a place in composers, songwriters and sound engineers studios.
