End Game manual

End Game is a mastering processor for the last insert on your mix bus or master. It is the final insert in your chain, designed to get you maximum loudness with each of the processors inside it working together to get you there better than one conventional brickwall limiter.

Start in ALL. The finished waveform, all three stage overlays, and the meter column in one view.

It runs the signal through three stages, always in this order:

• Enhance lifts the quieter detail and density of the track.

• Clip shaves the sharpest peaks before they reach the limiter.

• Limit sets the final loudness and the ceiling you deliver at.

The waveform, the stage overlays, and the meters show what each stage is doing, so you can judge every move by eye as well as by ear.
