Using Multiband Modules
The Dynamics, Exciter, and Imager modules in Ozone default to a multiband configuration; this means
they allow you to apply processing independently to up to four separate frequency ranges of the
program material passing through them.
The ranges (or cutos) of these four bands are shown at the top of the multiband modules with up to
three vertical light blue lines. You can adjust the frequency cutos of the crossover points, by dragging
the cuto lines to the left or right with the mouse.
Bypassing a Band
You can bypass the processing for a specific band (or bands) by clicking on the power button that
appears above the center of that band. The power button is similar in appearance to the power button
used by the mastering modules.
When you bypass a band of the crossover, you will hear the audio within that band, but without any
processing for that band.
Soloing a Band
You can Solo a band by clicking on the box labeled “S” above the center of the band. This allows you
to adjust multiband processing more easily, by hearing only the audio within the selected band.
Change the Number of Bands
To add or remove bands, click in the “plus” and “minus” signs in the lower left-hand corner of the
crossover display.
• Clicking “+” will add a band
• Clicking “–” will subtract a band.
• You can choose to split the audio into one, two, three, or four bands.
For subtle compression or when working with solo instruments, less bands can sound smoother as
there is less processing required for the audio. The other benefit is that less CPU is required when
working with fewer bands.
