I should have mentioned that I use Izotope's Ozone now on just about
every final mix. It gives a much more detailed final product than
BBE. Of course it's more expensive, but in my opinion this is THE
secret weapon in mixdown technology.

I have a friend that uses a BBE (hardware) in his guitar rig and
will not play live without it!
