    I don't want to run tracks through a Daw. iZotope Ozone removed Stand Alone option, and I have been using Mixmeister Fusion to tweak YouTube downloads.

    For an all-in-one -couple of knobs -the magic happens under the hood, I really like this one. The mojo is dialed in nicely. It isn't at all a go to if you want precision nuance and control (ie, you know what you're doing). But for a mixing dummy like me, it's perfect :) Sounds much better than t-racks if you're first step in t-tracks is to hit analyze with a preset reference and just go with it (as opposed to creating your own chain therein), in my experience.

    Most of these options are all going to be somewhere in the middle of a DAW and a standalone mastering environment.

    If you configure them to compare with a Wavelab-like workflow answer, you have Pyramix and Sequoia. For Mac, the only choice is obviously Wavelab Pro. Most people aren't concerned with an entirely standalone application, but I will stick pick Wavelab anyway. Way too many hours on it to consider switching. If these options didn't really work for me, I'd just go back to Ozone 9. It's only 6 years old; not like you are firing up some Soundforge 4.5d...

    Yep, I would stick with Ozone 9, really it's not that old.
    If you go the sample editor route: I used to like WaveLab but switched over to Acoustica from Acon Digital. (comes in mac flavor as well)
    I like the faster and cleaner GUI.
    But I get it, its just not as slick as a one window solution like Ozone 9

    BX_Mastering Studio is the one I’m into a lot these days. It’s free, simple (and fairly tweakable), and good.
