I have always used sound forge or wavelab with windows, but i just got a macbook pro and was looking for a good alternative mastering program since both these programs are window based only. I know i could run these using bootcamp or parallels but i'm trying to avoid having to use windows.

Why don't you just master in Logic? Bounce your multi-track down to a two track, create a new arrange window with just your two track and go to town.

Sonic Soundblade is my favorite. Peak Pro works pretty well too.

+1 on peak. Decent program. Although lately I've just been using pro tools after I bounce to disc, and then messing with the TC x3 plugin.

+1 for mastering in Logic. The other cool thing about it is that you can bring in several stereo files on different audio tracks is you're wanting to add wave/aif FX which bounce to a single mastered file. Otherwise, I use AudioFile Wave Editor.

wavebruner is clean and easy to use. t-racks seems to over compress my mixes so if you use your own pateches it will be good but the presets are no good. logic is just like waveburner. soundblade is my favorite.
