JST GAIN REDUCTION RUTRACKER MANUAL

ThereвЂ™s no attack control, and the manual doesnвЂ™t even mention the word вЂњattack,вЂќ so IвЂ™m assuming the attack is program dependent. If you turn on the Auto Gain switch, the makeup gain is adjusted automatically.В Yet another knob, Mix, is essentially a Wet/Dry control for Finality, giving you the ability to apply parallel compression and dial in precisely the amount of processing you want. Gain is a makeup gain control to compensate for loss of level from the limiting. I found that only the last quarter or so of the Input knob was usable, however, because once you drop it below about 2В o'clock, it tapers off so steeplyВ that all your level is gone.

The Input knob lets you adjust the incoming signal level, and the higher itвЂ™s turned up, the more gain reduction you get. Output adjusts the level of the signal exiting the plug-in. Threshold controls how much Limiting is applied to the signal. Large knobs are provided for Threshold and Output, both of which youвЂ™ll end up adjusting quite a bit. NoВ limits Finality Advanced offers flexible limiting and sonic coloration.ДЇinality Advanced runs on VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX in 32- or 64-bit format, and as a 32-bit RTAS plug-in (RTAS doesn't support 64-bit).В The GUI has an old-school hardware look to it, with a dark face, and a VU-style meter that can be set to show Input, Gain Reduction or Output. It can also function as a master bus limiter. However, it's very versatile and can be used on everything from vocals to drums to guitars and more. That is, you canвЂ™t use it toВ completely stop audio from rising above a specified threshold. You can also purchaseВ Finality Lite by itself for $39.ДЇinality Advanced is not a brickwall limiter. A simpler version, Finality Lite, which features the same engine with less controls is included when you buy Finality Advanced.

At a $69 introductory price (eventually going up to $89), Finality Advanced (Mac/PC) offers excellent value. He also has a plug-in company, Joey Sturgis Tones, that'sВ known for making quality, affordable plug-ins. For those not familiar, Joey Sturgis (read our interview with him) is producer/engineer who works mainly in the alternative metal and rock genres.
