Thanks Ed and George, and I'll follow your advice in both ways - I have a backlog of recovered analog recordings and can't justify professional mastering prices for all of them; Ozone should do for these; on the other hand I have work in progress I want the best for, so that will probably go to a professional. And, having Ozone, I might work through the mastering myself on a couple of the in-progress ones, so I'll be able to engage in a more useful dialog with the mastering engineer. Steven Rowat
