Wave Arts FinalPlug 7 - Professional Mastering Limiter / Download Version | The Ultimate Solution for Peak Limiting and Loudness Metering
Wave Arts FinalPlug 7 is a high-precision tool designed for modern audio production workflows, perfectly combining a peak limiter with advanced lookahead capabilities and an ITU BS.1770 compliant loudness metering system. This plugin can not only be used as a single-track insert effect to assist mixing engineers with precise gain staging adjustments and volume maximization, but also placed at the end of the mastering chain as the final line of defense, ensuring your audio works fully comply with the strict broadcast and streaming platform delivery requirements for dynamics and loudness.
In today's digital streaming media environment, controlling True Peak and integrated loudness is crucial. FinalPlug 7 offers an extremely intuitive and efficient operating interface. Through advanced analysis and matching functions, users only need to set the target specifications, and the system will automatically detect and adjust the limiter parameters. Whether it's to meet the loudness standards of Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or Netflix, or to pursue ultimate sound density and punch, FinalPlug 7 is an indispensable professional tool in the mastering post-production process, allowing you to easily produce high-quality audio that meets industry standards.
Core Advantages and Application Scenarios
Professional-grade Peak Limiting and Volume Maximization
FinalPlug 7 employs a high-quality lookahead limiting algorithm, effectively controlling the audio's dynamic range without sacrificing sonic transparency. When used as a volume maximization tool, users simply set the desired output ceiling level, such as -0.1 dB, and then adjust the threshold. As the threshold is lowered, the overall volume will significantly increase, while true peak limiting technology prevents digital distortion and clipping, ensuring a full and clear sound.
Compliant with ITU BS.1770 Global Loudness Standard
Addressing the consistency requirements for loudness across broadcast television and online streaming platforms, FinalPlug 7 features built-in, comprehensive ITU BS.1770 loudness metering. It supports K-weighted filtering and various loudness measurement modes, helping users precisely monitor Integrated Loudness and True Peak levels. This is crucial for producing podcasts, advertising soundtracks, or commercial albums, ensuring listeners receive a consistent auditory experience across different playback devices.
Smart Analysis and Auto-Match Function
To simplify the tedious parameter adjustment process, FinalPlug 7 offers a powerful "Analyze" and "Match" workflow. After selecting the target delivery specification, users play the audio, and the system instantly displays loudness data, showing an orange alert if values exceed the standard. After playback, clicking the MATCH button automatically calculates and sets the optimal limiter parameters. When played again, your audio will precisely meet the target integrated loudness without exceeding the true peak limit, allowing you to immediately export compliant finished products.
