CD + Vinyl Authoring · macOS

The last step a record takes.

Two native macOS tools for the stage after mastering: assembling a finished album into a CD master and an LP master, and converting it for delivery. Hi-res in, hi-res out.

Two tools, one workflow

Finito assembles the record and authors it — CD and vinyl. AcuRate handles the conversion. Both are native, both are bought once.

Finito

CD and vinyl premastering from one project — a DDP 2.00 fileset for the plant, a hi-res premaster for the cutting room. Compare mix versions at the last moment they can still change, swap sample-rate conversion on the fly, and send the client an approval copy that plays in any browser, phone included, with nothing to install.

AcuRate

Batch sample-rate and bit-depth conversion for delivery, in 64-bit float from source file to output file. Five engines — three of them the original open-source converters, compiled in unchanged — so the trip down to 44.1 or up to hi-res stays a decision you make and can hear, not a default.

44.1 → 384 kHz · 16 / 24 / 32-int · 32 / 64 float

// Story

A record is never quite as finished as everyone thinks. The mixes are signed off and the master is approved — and then, at DDP and vinyl authoring, the last real decisions still get made: which version of track four, how the gaps sit, what the conversion does to the top end.

That moment is the last touch — which is where the name Finito comes from. After 30+ years in the studio as a producer and drummer, it is the moment I wanted proper tools for: both formats in one project, versions you can compare instead of guess at, and conversion you can hear before committing to it. AcuRate does that conversion on its own, for everything that is not a disc.

Both are written and supported by one person, which is the reason they are priced once and carry no dongle, no subscription and no online check — and the reason an email about a bug is answered by whoever will fix it.
