Thread Starter | Multiband Compressor
Besides mastering, when do you normally use a multiband compressor?

I like the C4 on vocals. It really brings its presents out.

the C4 on electric piano ( not rhodes nessaciarly, but piano samples) traly helps deal with the transient respopse in the mids for me... I use multiband alot as a "dynamic EQ"...

I barely ever touch MBC's unless there's a particular reason. Unless the client says "just make it really loud" or something. I suppose it comes in handy for that. I'd say that I use them in mixing much more than in mastering generally.

A sine wave is. Using a 5 band C4 can basically de-ess the vocal while also controlling the lows seperately from controlling the nasalness. It can really help a singer who has very rapid changes in tone.

the c4 has been pretty helpful for me with boomy acoustic guitars and a rhodes piano i did with an overpowering low end.

sometimes I haul one out on 'problem' tracks - often rhythm guitar or piano, but honestly, half the time I end up taking it off, starting over and finding a different way to solve the problem. I keep trying to think of multiband as an 'EQ alternative' or whatever but usually it leaves me dissatisfied. YMMV |
