I didn`t really want to post negative comments but as a few other people did i thought i might as well chuck in my few penneth so they were not out on their own so to speak .
If it works for you then use it , personally i wouldn`t reccomend it .

Having said all this i have not used it lately and i may be commenting on an old version with less developed algorithms.
It`s all horses for courses, but really, like anything, you need to get to know it to use it properly, ESPECIALLY with any mastering hardware or software.
Anyone expecting quick results will simply be disapointed.

I used to use pure vintage hardware for mastering, then moved into plugins for ease, and don`t really commit to any in particular.

Different plug ins are good for different reasons.

I find the waves stuff too plastic to get a nice warm mix personally, however, their limiting is great for transparency.

Vintage warmer is great, also the sonalksis EQ and Compression is particularly nice for warmth and presence.
URS EQ`s are really nice, as is the voxengo compression.

I think people are too succeptable to the waves marketing though, as I really don`t think they deserve the rep they get.
Maybe it`s cause I learned my trade in an old analog studio.
