Re: Mastering in PT or using external software?
You might look into the various versions of Studio One 4 as they(at least in the flagship version) have mastering, CD burning, DDP, etc for authoring red-book CD's

But ... you can master in Pro-Tools if you like. Import your mixes into a new session, do "whatever processing" is needed ... a job that can take years to learn... and bounce-out each mastered song as a separate file. As you are processing, pull-in professional reference tracks and set markers to jump from your masters to reference masters. Big/medium/small speakers plus headphones. Loud/soft. Check it in mono. Check the song transitions. Take ear/brain breaks. If it's going to CD (but why anymore, really) then dither to 16/44.1 and use a burning app (like Toast) since Pro Tools does not burn CDs. Music mastering is a process that can take years of experience to get really good at - just like tracking & mixing. Don't expect to click a mouse/add a plug/buy a "mastering app" & immediately achieve pro-level results!!!

I'd say as an alternative take a look at HOFA's CD-Burn.DDP.Master at https://hofa-plugins.de/en/plugins/cd-burn-ddp-master/ The nice thing with this version is you get the use of all their other plugins as well |

Just perused the manual for DSP Quattro. Figured how to do what I need it for, but the manual needs a better road map. By page 150 I think I got it. There is some Spanglais sort of "speak" in its manual. Where is the author from, I wonder? DSP Quattro does much more than just burn CDs. Supports plug-ins, plus has a live mode. Looks like a could be useful for many different things. It also has an audio editor and a mixer with aux channels. Plus it includes its own plug-ins, too. Thought it odd that I need to use the "Advanced" mode to fine tune the start and stop of the audio tracks. But the manual does explain why.

Re: Mastering in PT or using external software?
Molto bene, Stefano. Complessivamente i finanziamenti sono stati utilizzati molto bene. Non si tratta di un documento perfetto: sappiamo tutti che non è perfetto.
