I use an ever-changing combination of Fabfilter Pro-MB (amazing multiband compressor), iZotope Ozone 8 (multiband compression, limiter, exciter) and iZotope RX7 (to set the final LUFS level and roll-off below ~35 Hz).
What software and/or services do you use? Auphonic? Adobe Match Loudness? FGX Mastering Processor?

After rendering my mix, into .wav, I’ll drop it in RX7 and run Normalize and Level. Render that into .wav and drop into Auphonic to set LUFS and export to mp3. I could probably set LUFS in RX7 but not sure what standard to use.
For my flagship show and client shows, I typically use 3-5 Ozone modules on my master bus (multiband compressor, exciter, tape emulator most of the time, sometimes the imager, sometimes the maximizer). Final loudness and file compression in Hindenburg.
I have one show that’s almost entirely mobile, where I have Auphonic as the mastering stage so that I can record, edit, and publish from my phone.
I use Audition.
On the Master track, I have Amplify, Multiband compressor, Limiter and Loudness Radar.
I also have effects on the sub mixes and the individual channels.
