So, what kind of mastering software does anybody use?
And why that particular software?

If you know the technicals, you could even use Powertracks or Realband for digital mastering. Or any of the Audio Editing Suites available, even the free ones.
But if you are technically challenged, it can be a good shortcut for you to use one of the dedicated Mastering programs instead. Those will often give you a simpler set of controls and presets that aid in doing the right thing in the first place, can eliminate a long learning curve and a lot of trial and error.
Check out Ozone or T-Racks, two that I've heard great results from. Of course, as with any tool, there is a point where the results obtained depend on the user and all, but it will likely be far easier to accomplish for the person who finds that they are more artist than engineer.

Pat, what you ask is like asking for someone to tell you how to master playing an instrument like the guitar but please put it into a few paragraphs.
