About

Emotion File Finish (Eff, but pronounced simply as ‘F’) is a software product designed to ensure loudness compliance for multimedia files. The software allows both analysis and normalisation to a number of user- defined specifications.

Eff is available on Windows and OSX platforms.

Eff opens media files and measures:

Loudness
PPM
True Peak.

Loudness can be measured to the following standards:

BS 1770 (at version 4 at time of writing)
BS 1771 (this is a standard for metering loudness)
EBU R128
ATSC A/85
TR-B32
OP59
AGCOM 219/09/CSP
Leq (A)

Eff is EBU mode compliant as specified by EBU Tech 3341. The Loudness values can be measured in LUFS (if using R128), LKFS (BS 1770/1771 and non-European Loudness standards) and LU (if a specific reference level is given, following BS1771).

The PPM values are measured and displayed to both Type I Ballistics (used by DIN and Nordic Scales) and Type II Ballistics (used by BBC and EBU Scales).

Volume (VU) is measured to Direct, France or US/Australia standards. For the UK, DPP file mode is also supported.

True Peak is measured in line with the method specified in BS1770-3.

Loudness Range (LRA) is measured as per the EBU R128 specification. A processor is included with Eff which if enabled will apply overall compression to the entire audio so as to achieve compliance with a LRA threshold.

Eff allows you to normalise audio levels within files so they meet user-defined specifications.
