Multiband Dynamics

PreSonus

Where to get itIncluded with Studio One. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.presonus.com

Multiband Dynamics is a compressor/expander with five completely independent compression/expansion bands, optional simultaneous adjustment over all bands, and multiband metering. It can function as a dynamic equalizer or be used for mastering compression on a complete mix, allowing you to reduce unwanted signals, manage banded noise, and emphasize or limit specific frequency ranges independently.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

  • 02Engage Edit All Relative to change dynamics settings across all bands by the same amount simultaneously
  • 03Enable Auto Speed to set adaptive Attack and Release times for all bands globally for comparable smoothness
  • 04Load factory presets as a starting point to learn how the plugin works before manual editing
