Hi, Ron here....
Why not use Mike's great work with LinuxDSP?
Also, I mastered one of my remixes both on Indamixx AND a 10,000.00 Neve Pre

and although the Neve 'excited' the track and made for a bit of hearing

deeper sounds in the track it was hardly a 10 grand experience.

(Not advocating Indamixx here just noting my experience).
If I can provide another bit of input.  I am not trying to sell you on the

Waves plugin L316 but I know for a fact that many super engineers (one's

producing for Eminem, Dre, 50Cent) and mastering facilities run this one

plugin on the master to achieve the 'mastered' result.  It's more of a tips

and tricks thing or secret weapon for the guys who don't want you to know

what is really going on :)  I guess the secret is out!
Lastly, I don't know if he is still in the biz but when we were cutting

records in the 90's for record labels, I was fortunate to work with Roger

Siebel or Seibel in Phoenix AZ and this guy was amazing!!!  When we would

remix a track for like Sony and he would master it and the remix vinyl would

sound so much better that many DJ's would not play the original vinyl but

opt for our remix version because of the quality of the mastering, and

sometimes these were old school hip hop tracks that were pretty dirty/gritty

to begin with.  Seibel Mastering was the facility and Roger was always very

fair.  He is a lover of the art first.
Thank you
Ronald Stewart
