Mastering tools

Has someone found a solution for Mastering on Pulsar. I'm looking for something similar to Dynasone from www.prosoniq.com or freefilter from Steinberg ? Idealy, I'm looking for a tool or a set of tools that allow me to compare a reference signal (a mix that I like that would be an example of what I'm looking for) and to adjust the frequency and dynamic response of my signal to match as much as possible the reference's one.

Subject: Multicomps
Steckenleiter Mastering Processor, Hojoon Chang's MasterLab and Huicholity's Multicomp are the ones I've managed to find. I haven't tried them properly yet but they all seem to be usable. The Chang's MasterLab seems great because it has the best visual meters. All have demos available. Post your opinion here, I would like a serious discussion of Pulsar mastering tools as there seems to be a lack of serious tools. Where are all the harmonizers and phase correction meters (goniometers, not the PhaseScope that I've seen somewhere)?

Subject: Here's how
I assume that you are not a pro in mastering (why would you ask otherwise). First of all, reference material is important. You should have both good and bad sounding records as reference. The bad ones give you instructions of the possible mistakes and the good ones are the ones to copy. No two songs are the same no matter how you master them. Therefore there is no point in trying to make an unique sound in mastering, that is done in recording and mixing. And if your audio monitoring and acoustics in your listening room aren't perfect you can assume that the sound made by pros sounds what it should sound. Then you can try to make your mix sound like theirs no matter what it really sounds like in your studio. Ask if you wan't more technical advices, the problem is that the usage of a multicomp depends completely of the material you are mastering, there are only few tips to give without hearing your material. Of course I could listen to some MP3s.
