In case You are not willing to spend money for proffesional mastering companies, I have found a very great freeware mastering plugin processor called MHorse P3 version 2.0 MKII with so many features available:
Functions:
Full Bypass.
EQ Bypass.
In/Output -3dB option.
3 parallel parametric (serial) equalizers.
6 Q bandwidth settings per band.

Boost/cut option per band.
Peak/LoShelf - Peak/HiShelf.
Loudness boost filter.
Combined Par/Ser EQ option (post ser).

3 bands Parallel Tape Saturator.

MS Parallel Stereo Widener without loss off center (3 modes).
CrossTalk emulator (2 modes: Vintage, Modern).
Low / High Exciters.
Unique Deharsh processor with Stereo/Mid/Side modes.
Old style VU meters (-60dB~+6dB).
VU lights on/off animation.
Pan peak/correlation and Source material detector meters.
Jb plugins are nice but for so little bucks it is fair to buy tonebooster plugins with much better algorithms (they are build on JB plugins).
Terry West plugins are ok, very nice thing in freeware world, but i prefer my ussual freeware mastering chain ->
nova67p, SlickEq, TDR Kotelnikov, Saturation KnobMaxwell (in beta testing, will be donationware, for now you can try maxwell smart V2, best freeware limiter imho) and Span.

Thanks for offering more software. I will definitely check it out
I have always had problems concerning running Kotelnikov. It always crashes on my renoise since it is through wine. I will try to check the other software from tokyo dawn labs, thanks
I think the best bet if you want good sounding masters is the AAMS program, at least it’s a lot easier to get a great result.
It’s not just automatic mastering, you can do lots of stuff manually too even though it’s a bit quirky.
Lets say you have mixed a track, you may find a similar sounding professionally mastered track and use it as a reference so that your track can automatically match up the EQs and levels from it.
It’s no VST though, you can’t do it in realtime.
The big difference between AAMS and a VST is that, while AAMS analyses the track and adjusts it based on the analysis and a reference, a vst simply adds effects to the track.
