Finis is a brickwall-limiter from Roger Nichols Digital, founded by
producer, recording-engineer, and 7-time Grammy winner Roger Nichols,
whose resume includes producer and engineer for the critically
acclaimed group, Steely Dan as well as artists ranging from Joe Cocker,
Al DiMeola, and Bela Fleck to Al Jarreau, Mark Knopfler, and Frank
Sinatra. A former nuclear engineer-turned recording engineer, Nichols
vast technical knowledge includes development of one of the first
commercially available sampling drum machines, consulting with Yamaha
on the development of automation for the 02R digital console, and while
digital recorders were still only 16-bit, Roger designed a 24-bit
splitter device (Paq Rat) for Rane. See what the flexibility and power
of Roger Nichols Digital Finis can do for your mix.

Brick-wall Limiting & Loudness Maximization
We all know that unplanned digital distortion is bad news. Use Finis to
control your audio levels and prevent distortion from rearing its ugly
head. And when you need to give your audio more edge, Finis helps you
maximize your audio's loudness. Even at extreme settings, Finis can
control levels without audible distortion. Whether you just need to
catch an occasional over or to increase the average level of your
audio, Finis offers a flexible solution.
Three Distinct Limiting Algorithms
You want more control over the way a limiter behaves or "sounds". After
all, the same limiting style doesn't fit every purpose. That's why
Finis provides three distinct limiting algorithms - so that you can
tweak the plug-ins limiting style to meet your needs. But Finis offers
choice without complexity. You only need to interact with two primary
controls to get the response you want. Using Finis is simple - in many
cases it can just be activated, a vew small adjustments to the Release
or Reaction controls and it is done.
Multiple Metering Modes
What is a limiter without proper metering? Finis gives you all the
metering you need to get the most from your limiting. To make sure that
you don't lose sight of any aspect of your audio levels, Finis
introduces an integrated Peak, RMS, and Peak hold meter. What's more,
because limiting affects audio dynamics, Finis includes an innovative
new Crest Factor meter. This meter ensures you don't kill your audio
dynamics. Unless of course, that's the goal.
Since Finis supports sample rates up to 192kHz it's ready to
accommodate digital recording now and into the future. Of course,
because Finis is a true brick-wall limiter there is no worry about
those naughty overs slipping by.
