Appreciated, Ron! The full name of Soren is Soren AI Mastering. I bought it s few months ago as it didn't use up much disk space and I need to get into mastering, but it was both disappointing and untimely as a week later they updated it. It's simple as it only has Genre Profiles, Style and Loudness tabs. There are only 4 options under the latter 2 tabs and 9 under Genre. They added a lot more right after I'd bought it so they wanted me to buy it again, but I found that regardless of the setting it just changed the sound of a whole track or stem without improving on it. It has a Use Reference Track function and I found that not much different to the Genres, plus while it has a GM (Gain Match) tab, which would be very useful, it doesn't work! I've found that it does beef up some single instrument files - I used it on the organ solo in "A New Day" - but on most I've tried it doesn't improve on what I've already got, plus when trying single instrument samples I often just get an error message.
