FinalPlug

Mastering Peak Limiter und Volume Maximizer

FinalPlug ist ein professioneller Peak-Limiter/Volume-Maximierer mit umfangreichen Bit-Depth- und Dither-Optionen, wodurch er sich ideal für den finalen Mix eignet. Dämpfen Sie die Peaks ein wenig oder holen Sie wirklich alles an Lautstärke heraus, was Sie können.

Die Oberfläche von FinalPlug könnte kaum simpler sein. Wählen Sie einen gewünschten Grenzwert für die Ausgangslautstärke, z. B. -0,1 dB, und stellen Sie dann den Threshold-Wert ein. Wenn Sie den Threshold senken, erhöhen Sie die Lautstärke.

The peak limiter section works by looking ahead 1.5 milliseconds. When a input peak is detected that will exceed the desired output ceiling, the gain is quickly ducked to let the peak pass, then the gain is restored relatively slowly according to the release time control. During rapidly changing program material with frequent peaks, a faster release time will achieve better results. During slowly changing material, slower release times prevent excessive modulation distortion. FinalPlug’s auto release feature analyzes the input signal to determine peakiness, and selects the optimum release time for the program material.

The truncate/dither section is usually used for CD mastering, where truncation to 16 bits can create audible quantization distortion. By adding special dither noise, the quantization distortion can be eliminated, and the dither noise can be spectrally shaped to move it to frequency ranges where it is less audible. FinalPlug contains a comprehensive noise shaping section which reproduces a variety of commonly used noise shapes.
