Insert the Finalizer Express between the stereo output of your mixer or workstation and your mastering recording media to refine your tracks with powerful mastering tools, adding energy to your mix without worrying about "overs". The fast intuitive user-interface helps you deliver amazing sound quality quickly. It improves spectral balance, tightens bass, optimises the level, all to make your mix sound like a final master.
Plenty of Great Features
With the Finalizer Express, you can bring your mixes to life with TC's unique Multiband Compressor and Limiter algorithms, boost and cut over three bands with the Spectral Balance Controls, prevent "overs" from occurring with Soft Clipping, even foresee incoming peaks with Look Ahead Delay, allowing for faster, more accurate response. Along with that, you can use the Finalize Matrix for 25 variations in style and rate.
Optimise your overall level with the Automatic Make-Up Gain, add extra compression in each band by using the Emphasis key, and record your fades from the built in Digital Fader or the optional TC Master Fader via MIDI
The Finalizer Express boasts 24 bit resolution A/D & D/A converters, 16 and 20 bit ditherin, Industry standard connectivity (AES/EBU, S/PDIF, Optical Tos-link & MIDI I/Os), as well as high resolution LED netering of I/O & multi-band gain reduction.
Plug In and Improve that Mix!
Plug your Finalizer Express in and you're already close to a great sounding mix, without hassle. It provides a combination of analog and digital equipment advantages to bring creative flow. It has an analog style interface and TC's proprietary dynamics processing technology inside.
Multi-Band Compression Technology
The Finalizer Express boasts TC Electronics' award winning multi-band compression technology, where you can actually equalise your track with selective compression, adding energy and clarity into the mix without worrying about "overs". If you are working either in the analog or the digital domain the Express has you covered with: 24 bit A/D & D/A's, AES/EBU, SPDIF and Tos-link I/Os.
Easy Power up and Off
Power up the Finalizer Express by pressing the Power button. Holding it down for more than three seconds turns the Express off and prevents sudden accidental power downs that could damage your equipment.
