Can one get Izotope or similar for Mac?

[rob_one]

Never mind. Found it.

Damn. One to save up for then.

(Getting itchy fingers just looking at it. Wanna play!!!)

[Myth]

yeah izotope....dope package..

im on WAVES PLATINUM as well...

[MrC The Rap God Almighty]

Yeah i got most of the WAVES Bundles too. But the dope thing about IZOTOPE is that it's one plugin. It also comes with a nice comprehensive guide on how to use each effects, plus it's quite visual,meaning u can see your compressor kicking in by just looking @ the HISTOGRAM,etc,etc.

[WORDSMITH]

U basically need a WAVE EDITOR like CoolEdit or WaveLab. U export your mixdown from Fruity into a Wave File, open the Wave File in your Editor and proceed to apply your Mastering Chain. Look @ something like IZOTOPE which is a one in all plugin which contains everything, from Multiband Compression, EQ, Reverb,Limiter,etc,etc. There's even a preset called "CD Mastering" which should give u a good start.

Sho! Ndoda. I'll make sure I get 1 those WAVE EDITORS and thats if I don't get IZOTOPE. Holla! one

I respect what you cats have said and it make great sense...

However, I still think its much easier to and time worthy to simply go and do a degree on Sound Technology or a similar qualification... Just think about, coz then you will truelly  not what you doing.

Makhi,

Of course it's good to get a mastering degree (as opposed to a Masters Degree ) but it's not always practical or possible. And there is no reason (or Reason) to not be able to teach yourself to a competent level.

So easier? Time worthy? Naw. Worthwhile yes, but not easier.
