Finalist Mixing App
Producer/developer Tim Exile has introduced Finalist, a new application for Mac and Windows that’s designed to let you create “release-ready” mixes in minutes.
Finalist presents you with simple aesthetic choices, and then uses audio analysis and DSP to create a mix, based on your preferences.
It features 40 varied mix presets, which you can tweak to your taste. Strength and gain knobs give you extra control over each group. Module locks allow you to lock individual modules to different presets.
Finalist’s mix engine was developed from the ground up to respond to the 300 data points it extracts from your audio during the analysis process. Analog warmth emulation, mid-side processing, multiband dynamics, transient-shaping, clipper-limiters and more are used to map your source material to targets set in each mix preset.
Finalist handles up to 32 stems and supports MacOS 11-15 and Windows 10-11 via Native Instruments’ free Reaktor Player.
Here’s an example of Finalist in action:
Finalist is available now, with an intro price of £89 through the end of October 2025 (normally £99).
