Now available on the Mackie download page.

Release notes are spartan. Support for the Mackie Onyx firewire board seems to be the focus. May hold out on this one until the mastering plug is available in the mac version.

internal testing?

mackie being slow to update site?

Disparities between build date and release date don;t seem that unlikely to be honest.

Can it be the same one with all these features?

Acuma Labs’ Final Mix enables you to master your sessions within the D8B, printing directly to hard disk or DAT without having to rely on expensive mastering houses or outboard gear. Specifically designed for use with the Mackie Universal Effects (UFX) card, Final Mix can dramatically elevate the quality of your mixes and help you to create your own professional masters. With an extensive palette of sonic tools, including 3-band dynamics processing, 6-band (pre and post) parametric EQs, adjustable cross over points and individual band key filtering, Final Mix lets you zero in on exact frequencies to adjust or emphasize crucial elements of your mix.

Final Mix employs three individual dynamics processors (low, mid and high) with noise gating and soft clip limiting to provide ultra smooth compression or expansion. Each dynamics band features individual threshold, attack and release times. A graphical contour edit screen for each band allows you to easily set a desired ratio and to create your own hard knee or soft knee, or even draw in an expander curve.

Each dynamics band features its own key filter that allows you to emphasize or de-emphasize a portion of the signal within the band. The Soft Clip feature adds a smooth, analog-style clip response when your signal gets close to overload. Other features such as Noise Gate, Band Linking and more ensure that Final Mix will be an integral part of your mixes from here out.

6-band pre-dynamics parametric equalizer

Head's up kids, you need to grab the full installer to get Final Mix Pro bundled, the minimal doesn't have it. Looks pretty, not very tracktion-esque though, looks like a Cubase plugin, but blue

Got to head out to work now, so have no idea what it sounds like ...

That's fair enough, i'm definitely not complaining. Wasn't expecting anything new feature wise before version 2, so this is sweet little surprise


Anyone else noticed that the retail price of Final Mix (for UFX) is $399 (or $339 online)

:shock: :-o :o :-o :shock:

Maybe a cut down version or something?

I hate work .... arrrghh ... timing is so bad
