Default Need software to Master in 5.1

I need to do my own mastering - it's too expensive out there.
Just got a quote from one of the top guys for $27k!!!!!!

What software do you know of that does audio mastering - for Red Book CD - DDP and pmi - and also for 5.1. The 5.1 mastering is really important.

Thanks

There is no software that does 5.1 mastering for red book cd. That media is 2.0 (stereo) 16bit 44.1kHz -- if you think you can "master" it better than professionals you should also know better

Seriously though, I have done most of my CD jobs with Peak, but it is now discontinued so you cannot buy one if you don't already have one. Have not checked alternatives for a while.

Relax Jfreak...I wasn't saying I wanted to master 5.1 at the Redbook standard. I was saying that I wanted software that could cover all those bases.

BTW I found it. The replacement for Bias Peak so I answered my own question for those that do a search on this subject

I'd also have a look at DSP Quattro. Great value. And as a former Waveburner user, the interface is basically the same.

Oh, and it's $99.

I've been using Adobe Audition CS6 here. Really wanted Soundforge for Mac to work but there's issues Sony doesn't seem to want to spend time fixing. SF Mac doesn't do CD burning, for instance. There Windows version does, however.
