 Voxengo releases Sonic Finalizer 1.1VoxPosted 2003-06-14 The main idea behind Sonic Finalizer is a spectral balance. A perfectly balanced mix can be seen on a spectrum analyzer as a spectral curve with a downward slope towards the high end. There can be some deviations from this rule, but generally it always applies (at least the higher frequencies are usually less powerful than lower frequencies). Sonic Finalizer uses compression to adjust the spectral balance of any sound material being processed in a way that its spectral curve fulfills the aforementioned rule. Thus, Sonic Finalizer could also be called a spectral compressor.
The new version 1.1 introduces convenient spectral gain change meters. Gain change meters greatly increase the overall comprehension of the plug-in's controls and allows you to get the desired results easier and faster.
The `Link' and the `Fluffy' controls were introduced to add more control over Sonic Finalizer. When the `Link' mode is enabled, Sonic Finalizer enters the stereo-linked operation mode which preserves stereo-field of the program material during processing. This mode is also lighter on the CPU. Now you can switch between the `Fluffy' and the `Normal' operation modes, too. `Fluffy' is the default mode and it allows you to get an interesting and pretty unique spectral dynamics processing. The `Normal' mode makes Sonic Finalizer work in a more straight-forward way, useful for general mastering compression.
Other significant improvements are: a faster graphical user interface, better compression controls, more presets.
To sum up, Sonic Finalizer's features are:
* Innovative spectral compression technology
* Gain change meters
* "A-to-B" comparisons
* Factory presets (where available)
* Mono -> Stereo, Stereo -> Stereo processing modes
* 44.1k and 48k sample rates supported
* Highly optimized DSP
* 64-bit internal precision
