Finito in dark mode with the updated Guided listening panel, centered Natural style, nearby strength comparison and pinned Review and Export controls
Features

A focused mastering workspace

Smart decisions, transparent controls, and exactly the right amount of detail when you need it.

01 / 10
Guided Mode

Three choices. A clear path to your master.

Choose your sound, listen, and find your finish. Guided Mode brings the waveform, playback and three musical choices together, with Review and Export always in reach.

  • Warm, Natural, and Open styles · Natural is the centered default
  • Gentle, Balanced, or Bold strength and a clear delivery target
  • Original/Mastered comparison, Gain Match and optional fine tuning
Dark-mode Guided Mode with unified waveform and playback, Warm, Natural and Open styles, Compare beside Strength, descriptive Loudness choices, optional fine tuning, and pinned Review and Export
Guided Mode · choose your sound, listen, and review
02 / 10
Direction

AI-assisted direction, not a generic preset.

Smart Analysis combines measured tone, dynamics, stereo, and loudness with local genre and intent profiling to build a complete first pass you can refine by ear.

  • Two on-device music-context models strengthen broad genre and intent profiling while your audio stays on your Mac
  • Detailed recommendations show EQ moves, band widths, low-end shaping, compression, and delivery values
  • A predictable CD / Loud baseline, with every quieter or louder delivery target still one click away
  • Confidence-aware recommendations show when the evidence is High, Moderate, or Exploratory
  • Compare three Smart directions at matched loudness, review the full song, and save up to four versions

Full-song Review

Hear the refinement before you commit.

Review the song through the export processing path, inspect measured results, and audition a small dynamics refinement at a matched level. Timestamped prompts point you to passages worth comparing.

  • Compare the current master and refinement with measured loudness, true peak, and limiter reduction
  • See the proposed compressor and limiter changes before applying them
  • Jump to moments to compare, then choose whether to use the refinement
Dark-mode Full-song Review with the result first, current-master loudness, true peak and limiter reduction, and timestamped listening moments highlighted on the graph

Tone

See and shape every frequency decision.

Refine tonal balance with a mastering-grade parametric EQ and a fluid live spectrum that makes every move easy to understand.

  • High-resolution EQ with precise bands, musical slopes, and independent band routing
  • Pre, Post, and Both spectrum views, with the analyzer available on demand
  • Minimum, Linear, and Mixed phase options for the right trade-off
  • Dynamic EQ and switchable Adaptive Balance for frequency-dependent control, with per-band reduction meters

05 / 10
Stereo

Put width exactly where the music needs it.

See the post-master stereo field by frequency, then shape the Low, Low-Mid, High-Mid, and High bands independently with confidence.

  • Four live band-image fields: low, low-mid, high-mid, and high
  • A particle cloud, not a scribble: brightness is density, and a quiet band stays a small cloud
  • On/Bypassed in the Stereo Image header, matching Tone and Loudness. WIDTH and CORR read — until playback; 0.0 is a measured zero
  • Each field filtered at 24 dB per octave, so a band shows its own range and little else

Character

Polish the mix without losing its identity.

Clean up technical problems and soften glare with controls designed for restrained mastering moves, and see exactly where they are working.

  • De-Rumble, De-Mud, De-Ess, De-Spike, and De-Harsh cleanup
  • Resonance brings adaptive Smoothness and deliberate Fixed Cuts together on one frequency view
  • Clarity opens or softens spectral detail with live shaping and focused Amount and Tilt controls

Color

Bring in analog character without losing the master.

Choose a single-band or multiband saturation path, then layer subtle analog depth independently for density, weight, dimension, and motion.

  • Tape, Tube, Transformer, Warm, and Hot harmonic modes
  • 2× Drive and Delta monitoring for confident, level-aware decisions
  • Live single-band and multiband spectra show the signal and added density
  • Independent Analog Depth with its own bypass and real-time meters
Dark-mode single-band saturation with Transformer selected, compact oversampling options, and independent Analog Depth with Tape character and four controls

Dynamics

Control movement without crushing the mix.

Choose the compressor behavior that fits the music, then shape attack and body independently. Compression shows gain reduction; Impact shows live envelope gain.

  • Punchy VCA-style impact or smooth Glue bus compression
  • Two compressor stages with combined live gain-reduction history
  • Separate tone, color and width for transient and sustained components of the mix
  • Low-End Attack and Body controls shape onset and sustain below 180 Hz
  • Low-End Leveler has Tight, Natural, and Smooth styles, an adjustable crossover, and reduction history

Loudness

Deliver at the right level with confidence.

Choose the destination, control the final limiter, and check the real delivery path so the exported master matches what you hear.

  • Targets for streaming, video, CD, club playback, and ultra-loud masters
  • Classic and Adaptive limiter architectures, with drive, release behavior, and true-peak safety
  • Codec Preview, loudness history, and delivery-ready export

Headphone monitoring

Check translation from a calibrated listening space.

Use a headphone correction profile with Measured studio, a University of Surrey listening-room capture, or modeled translation checks. Room presets, Gain Match, and bass targets affect listening only.

  • Select a headphone profile or import AutoEq, and inspect the applied correction curve
  • Choose Measured studio, a translation model, or your own four-path room response
  • Read Gain Match status, Recheck a passage, and monitor protected sample peaks

Stem mastering

Master from stems, not just a bounce.

Drop two to twelve submixes and Finito sums them into one session. The master chain treats that sum as a single piece of audio, while every stem keeps its own trim, EQ, compressor and repair tools underneath.

  • 2 to 12 stems summed and mastered as one, with add, replace, remove and rename
  • Named sessions reopen with every stem, trim, EQ and repair intact
Dark-mode Stems workspace with five named submixes, monitoring mute and solo, trim and individual editor controls

Every stem keeps its own chain.

Open a stem and it has a full processing strip of its own — EQ with a live analyzer, compression with its own gain-reduction meter, a resonance suppressor, saturation, and repair. Mute and solo affect monitoring only, so the exported master always contains every stem. Repair each source with advanced controls, matched Preview and Apply, advisory scanning, and editable history.

Restoration

Repair defects in the finished mix.

Target a short passage or an explicit whole-track scope, then compare Original, Repaired, and Removed before applying. A focused issue list and inspector bring Preview, Apply and Skip together, with detailed settings available when needed.

  • Restore, Artifacts, Uncompress, and Diagnose in one centered workflow
  • Clicks, crackle, hum, clipping, noise and short digital dropouts
  • Selectable spectral patches, reviewable scan findings and editable repair history
  • Gentle mastering defaults, with specialist restoration available separately

Dark-mode Edit Spectral Repair dialog with Enabled, Amount, time and frequency bounds, Reconstruct and Update Repair
Revisit an earlier repair. Change its settings or bypass it in Session Repairs. Later repairs are rebuilt from the updated recipe.
Album mastering

Make the release feel like one record.

Analyze a sequence together, preserve intentional level differences, and use Smart Album Cohesion to align tone, stereo, and dynamics around a chosen or automatically selected anchor track.

  • Per-track Smart Analysis, Smart Album Cohesion, or your current settings
  • Album-relative loudness, metadata, sequencing, trims, fades, and retryable delivery
Dark-mode Album and Batch Master window with demo tracks, metadata, processing strategy, delivery target and album analysis controls
Workflow

From rough mix to finished master

Four steps, one window. No bouncing between apps.

1

Load

Load WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, or M4A. Finito asks whether to run Smart Analysis or start neutral, the same question for one track or a set of stems. Drop 2 to 12 files at once to master from stems.

2

Restore

Map recurring artifacts, target the strongest measured passage, stabilize pitch drift with De-Warble, restore softened attacks, or open a squashed mix back up with Uncompress.

3

Shape & compare

Fine-tune EQ, per-band stereo, character, dynamics, loudness, fades, and trims, then A/B from the persistent Compare rail without scrolling back.

4

Deliver

Preview codecs, choose sample rate and metadata, then export one master or analyze, sequence, and master an entire release as one project.

Mastering

  • Parametric EQ with live pre/post spectrum feedback
  • Predictable Smart loudness at CD / Loud (−9 LUFS), with quieter streaming and louder Club / Ultra targets available afterward
  • True-peak safety and mastering-focused loudness control

  • Classic and Adaptive limiters with drive, release character and True Peak Lock for inter-sample safety
  • Dynamics in three passes: two compression stages, Impact for transient shape, and a dedicated Low-End leveler
  • Character tools including Smoothness, Cuts, Air, De-Mud, De-Ess, De-Spike, and De-Harsh

Stems

  • 2 to 12 stems summed and mastered as one, with add, replace, remove, and rename
  • Per-stem EQ with its own live spectrum, and per-stem compression with its own gain-reduction meter
  • Ten per-stem repair tools: click, crackle, plosive, hum, clip, noise, sibilance, room, spectral patches, and short dropouts
  • Matched Preview and Apply with Repaired / Original / Removed monitoring and floating-point working audio
  • Per-stem repair workbench with time-and-frequency selections, advisory scanning, learned noise profiles, and editable repair history
  • Mute and solo for monitoring only, so the exported master always contains every stem
  • A live level meter on every stem row, after its trim, EQ and compressor
  • A resonance suppressor per stem, taming rings and boxiness without dulling the source
  • Named sessions that save and reopen with every stem, trim, EQ and repair intact, with source-name search and pinned projects on Home

Restore

  • Focused Repair with draggable regions and a detailed spectrogram
  • Artifact Repair maps pitch flutter, softened transients, moving resonances, unstable stereo, granular texture, and clipping across the track
  • De-Warble stabilizes coherent pitch drift with expression preservation, stereo-linked correction, Preview, and Delta audition
  • Transient Reconstruction restores short attack detail with frequency focus and a strict maximum-lift guard
  • Explicit repair scope always shows Selection or Whole Track; recommendations target the strongest reliable passage and clearly announce a Whole Track fallback when needed
  • Focused repair tools for clicks, crackle, hum, clipping, broadband noise, and short digital dropouts
  • Repair Workbench with advisory scan findings and time-and-frequency spectral attenuation or bounded reconstruction
  • Editable repair history to revise or bypass earlier steps and rebuild later repairs safely
  • Specialist restoration for exposed mouth clicks and unwanted tails in a sparse passage
  • Uncompress to restore the level contrast between sections on a mix that arrived over-compressed
  • Source check for bandwidth, clipping and true peak, plus polarity and L/R timing faults that width controls cannot fix
  • Audition safely with a level-matched Original / Repaired comparison before committing

Monitoring

  • Headphone Reference with a measured University of Surrey studio capture, modeled translation rooms, and imported four-path responses
  • Speaker presentation choices for modeled rooms; measured and imported responses retain their captured placement and room balance
  • Per-model calibration with correction tuning, an applied EQ curve, persistent AutoEq imports, clear Gain Match status, and protected monitoring sample peaks
  • Listening targets and presets with independent bass, treble, and Subwoofer Boost adjustments, saved separately from mastering settings and kept out of exports
  • Reference tracks and Versions for gain-matched A/B, with linked cue points to compare matching passages in different songs
  • Mono, Mid and Side auditioning alongside the live four-band stereo field

Delivery

  • Release checks before you export: true peak, loudness, mono compatibility, limiter stress and low-end width
  • Codec Preview to hear AAC or MP3 delivery before export
  • Flexible output with delivery sample rates, metadata, WAV, FLAC, MP3, AAC, and ZIP packages

  • Appearance follows Dark, Light, or System. Reduce Motion replaces scale and slide with a short fade; Increased Contrast thickens chip rims so state is not fill colour alone
  • Persistent Compare rail keeps Original, Mastered, Reference, versions, Gain Match, Mono, and Headphones in reach while you work any processor
  • Saved audition passages let you name, revisit and loop important moments while adjusting processors
  • Adjustable analyzer space remembers Compact, Standard or Expanded views for each supported Studio section
  • Loudness history with LUFS, PLR, and PSR context for every master
