THE MOST TRANSPARENT MASTERING SUITE! || TC Electronic Finalizer

[@justincarrasco3680]

I'm glad that you always use the same track for demonstrations. It really helps to know a product when you're familiar with the material.

[@contra-bassrecords874]

He never actually uses Sandstorm by Darude though... 🤣

[@justincarrasco3680]

They are obviously remixes 🙄

I for one really ENJOY your personality. You're a very REAL person who treats your audience as peers and provides great, real-world observations. Just keep being YOU. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@KnzoVortex]

Not to rain on anyones parade or anything, I agree he's a great guy, informer, and entertainer, but in some of his videos he gives opinions on things he may not know enough about, especially on snake oil videos, since those are 'try it for the first time, give an opinion' by nature. This is important because you have to know that you cannot always take his word as fact, and he often does tell us to try the products (demos) he reviews for yourself. Much love, Random internet guy.

[@misterxeric]

Damn, i love how this limiter sounds. This is exactly what I would expect on a "radio pop" mastering, just to get that nice touch when listening at low and medium volume.

[@conanliquid]

I use this sometimes as polish. I master the track in Sequoia using all my usual plugins like Massive Passive/Curve Bender/Vari Mu/Shadow Hills/etc. These give the colour I want. I then polish off with TC as it is transparent. Best of both worlds. Just leave a bit of headroom on your first draft master print.

[@donnorman5308]

No negative from these quarters! You're so funny, entertaining and edifying all at once. Love to you from Canada...

[@austinsummersofficial631]

I bought this and I never looked back. I tried recently moving to pro L and honestly, I just found that this was better for the sound I was after.

[@alextearez]

Thank you for this vid! I have been toying with buying this app for awhile now. I simply can't afford to send my music to mastering pro all the time. Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@Sonmz]

Man, thank you so much for you videos. You're explaining everything in a very understandable manner! Wish you the best! Greetings from Kiev, Ukraine.

[@RudeRecording]

I've worked with Orban broadcast limiters since the mid 70's. In the early units there was a lot of adjustment possible but by the mid '90's there was a minor tweak. It was designed to do it's job transparently and you could hit it with really abusive levels and still have acceptable audio on the air. I had a couple of cases of DJ's complaining about a "clicking sound" when their mic was open that always turned out to be the VU meters bangin' off the endpins. I never had any problems with overmodulation with Orban processing. One of my mentors was singing the praises of the Fairchild limiter saying, "It was the best in the broadcast booth, you could run your faders anywhere and the output would be the same."

I think I never saw a masteting tool which instantly updates the look of the waveform before bouncing. Looks really promising in terms of workflow.

[@michaellevitz9160]

Love your video's. Very simple to understand and honest opinions... I can even tell if you like something or not by your expression before you talk. It is great your are in English also...Thank you for being a real person with great honest reviews , looking forward to more..

[@briancase6180]

I think this might be the most transparent suite of tools I've ever heard. I demoed both this finalizer app and the HD 6000 plugins. Wow, both are amazing.

[@naiveprophet1585]

Im not a mastering engineer or anything close, but I do tend to use Mastering "effect racks" to finish my tracks to send off for demos and I have to say man, this app is fucking bonkers. It is really well done and the quality is superb. Thanks for the video

[@reread2549]

In 1996 I used the hardware finalizer connected via spdif from sound forge and out of the finalizer into a Tascam DA 30 mk2 DAT. That was my mastering set up for over 3 years until the izotope plug ins were released and I could do everything inside the computer @ 24bit. Now I depend on Sound Forge and Ozone for my work, but at 199.00 usd. Finalizer software might get added to my tool box. Thanks for the video review

[@Styrant]

This is how ozones mastering assistant should work, I would let it analyze the whole track if it meant I could have more consistant processing. maybe even a quick and full analysis option for the impatient?

Optimod killed radio for me. In todays age there is no reason to have every band widened and compressed to death. For those in the Netherlands, you can hear all the big stations actively distorting due to the over compression.

[@Ndumixo]

This looks perfect for someone like me since I want good masters but also I'm a bit of an idiot. One stop solution for mastering, I haven't tried it yet but this could give Ozone a run for it's money.

[@alexadros2311]

what limits you from doing the normal mastering stuff first (maybe without as much of the limiting) and then throw it into this program at the end and get both the color and the radio sound

[@k1ttyF158er]

Maybe people are all talking about the software version because (as I remember it) the rack version was a pain in the butt to work with. - Trying to scroll through mini menus in 1996, while bent over sucked (since studios had consoles and not the desktop-level racks we have today).

[@metadaat5791]

Would yu mind comparing it to Ozone 9 Advanced? Just today I concluded my 10day free Ozone 9 Advanced trial and before buying (I consider it not cheap - at $800 AUD) I would like to eval the Finaliser. (I have the Hardware Finaliser Express rack.. but have not yet had 'finished' results with it.)

Hi. I have a suggestion for you. I follow your channel and especially snake oil for a long time now. I would love a snake oil video reviewing your past snake oils. We all know we can have a crush or hate on plug-ins when we open it but the very true test come on long-term, if we definitly use that plug-in on a regular basis or if it was just opened twice then forgotten. I would be very curious to know if some of those plug-ins made it to your fav folder. Cheers

Great video, muchas gracias. I do not make a negative comment at all. All the contrary, since I watched for the first time I learned stuff from you, you entertain and built a nice atmosphere, probably some people get a bit annoyed because they think what they bought or use is the best, something like the old ridiculous discussion such as Apple or Windows, Fender or Gibson Beatles or Rolling Stones, Waves or Slate, aghhhh...And never cut your hair please.

yes - very interesting, but the song you used - it's already mixed very well.

[@mauriziomauricone]

Are those 'Darude' tracks not already finalized/mastered by some engineer? Wouldn't it be better to use 'real world' tracks with no processing applied?

[@anteshell]

You simply don't master a track that has no processing applied. No processing means raw recording.

[@mauriziomauricone]

anteshell Not already finalized/mastered does not mean 'no processing'.

[@anteshell]

@@mauriziomauricone Oh, sorry I forgot that when mix is done and ready to be sent to be mastered, all of the processing magically just stops being processing, because... reasons?

[@thiloschacht6311]

Thanks for the interesting review. If this would have inserts and maybe an authoring section, I‘d be really exited. But how can this be integrated in an existing mastering environment, without inserts for analogue gear?

[@porkrinds9572]

I would really like to drastically change your opinion on fm broadcast processing technology. Most often these awesome pieces of all-in-one equipment tend to be badly molested by radio engineers (actually the program directors get this task in bigger markets). If I may, I'd like to ask one of the most amazing talents in multiband mastering technology I've ever known of, to have a stab at this track. Trust me, this guy is simply mind blowing at what he does. He absolutely refuses to do giant radio stations these days & only does work for some seriously high-end (but odd) projects nowadays. I met him in Hollywood on a once in a lifetime project & his work was absolutely stunning. I heard he refuses published credit on the projects he now accepts (which seems ridiculous to me) & doe everything from Lake Tahoe in Nevada (mostly contract work, DSP multiband programming, esoteric mastering stuff ). Id like to see if he'd be interested on such a challenge. What is the name of this track & artist? (Which BTW, I really like this song). Let me know please.

[@portnoy256]

Fine to see the waveform change in realtime in the bottom: no more temp export to "see" the waveform post mastering! :) There are some other SW that make visible the whole waveform in realtime? Thanks!
