55 FINALIZER Desktop Application User Manual
If you export a new version of your mix audio le from your DAW and overwrite the Finalizer audio source le, it will not automatically be reimported into the Finalizer
project while the application is running. You will have to reopen the project or restart the Finalizer application.
The Original section shows the following details:
• Sample Rate
• Track Loudness in LUFS
• True-Peak Maximum in dBTP
• Peak/Loudness Ratio in dB
The Project Preparation Process section has these available options for pre-processing the original audio le to make it ready for mastering:
• Sample Rate, with options: Original, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz. Note that Finalizer currently processes at 44.1 or 48 kHz, so e.g. a 96 kHz must be sample rate converted.
• SRC Filter, with options: Short, Balanced, and Steep
• Level Normalize, with options: Original, -12, -16, -20 LUFS, and Recommended. "Recommended" will take the Peak-to-Loudness ratio into account when setting a
suitable Normalization Level. See the Algorithms In Depth for further details on setting the Level Normalization.
The Prepared section shows the following results, after the original le has been pre-processed:
• Sample Rate
• Track Loudness in LUFS
• True-Peak Maximum in dBTP
• Peak/Loudness Ratio in dB
• Notes: the Track Loudness value in the Prepared section is aected by the Level Normalize option in the Process section. It will be the same value as the original,
if “Original” is selected, or it will be -12, -16, or -20 LUFS if these are selected, or a Recommended value.
Note: The EDIT View and MODULE LIST View will show a Warning if there is an error in the Preparation processing.
In the example below, there was an error with the sample rate. It turns out the requested sample rate was incompatible with the output playback device.
