I also use AAMS & think it is well worth the price. I mainly use it for its readouts on all the various EQ & compression settings, and then go back & make adjustment based on that...AND you get 21 days to try it out...cannot beat that! There is a standalone program that I like to use a lot, I am not good at the final stages of mastering the finished product, and this program takes a lot of the guess work out, as it is fully automated.
