multi band compressor VST

Which Multi Band Compressor vst are you using? I need to get one. I saw the C4 by waves, not to fired up about buying an iLok or paying an annual subscription for future updates. I downloaded the C3 free MBC but didn't like it, my single band TRackS3 Classic Compressor vintage tube preset sounded better.

    Did you mean 'multi-band' compressor and not 'multi-bus'?

    As far as I'm aware, 'multi-bus' compression is having a stereo compressor on several buses (3-5) summed to a master bus.

    Yup, C4 is a multiband compressor. My favorites are the MultiDynamics5 from WaveArts, and the one in Ozone. I use the Sonitus a lot, but mostly because it's lightweight, not because it's great.




    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Ah MBCs ... I find myself using them less and less, except for vocals and vocal busses.

    Voxformer, a 2-band MCB, might-could use a 3rd band, to protect the 2-4khz band from crunching.  Of course we oft get around that with an EQ reduction at 3.5 kHz (narrow Q wedge)

    For guitars, I sometimes use the Ax-FX pre-DAW processor with its MCBs (presets are OK at my intermediate level).

    Using Ozone MCB on the Master is a no-no for me, due to max-pre-compressed kicks, snares, guitars, etc.

    Using Ozone's MB harmonic exciters/saturations (includes tape-saturation fx's) is a much sweeter option for, say, warming the mids, on the master buss.

    +1 to all the above.

    I use T-SLEDGE.  It's a free download and comes with a ton of great presets.  Google it.
