tc electronics finalizer express... worth it or?

[SwambA]

Thinking about getting a TC electronics finalizer express. Is it worth the cash? Or is something software like Ozone just as good/close?

 

[PhilTheBeard]

fucking get it!!! We love our's!!! very awesome hardware tool to have

 

[SwambA]

You guys are the main reason I was thinking about getting one!

 

[PhilTheBeard]

Right on!!!

In my opinion no, unless you're getting one for really cheap. It's a decent unit, but nothing good software can't beat and I find it hard to justify the price nowadays.

High-end analogue gear is one thing, but outboard isn't the holy grail just because it has knobs.

You can find them for $500 used.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

honestly dude i would get it. It gets used on every production we do. and if you don't like it you can always sell it

Yeah, man. I really dig mine. Definitely get the user manual online so you know how the finalize matrix works. what price are you being offered?
