MultibandCompressor
MultibandCompressor allows a signal to be split into four frequency bands. You can specify the level,
bandwidth, and compressor characteristics for each band.

To compensate for output gain loss that is caused by compression,
MultibandCompressor uses an automatic make-up gain. If side-chaining is activated
for a frequency band in the side-chain section, the automatic make-up gain is
deactivated for this band.
Frequency Band Editor
The frequency band editor in the upper half of the panel is where you set the width of the frequency
bands as well as their level after compression. The vertical value scale to the left shows the gain level
of each frequency band. The horizontal scale shows the available frequency range.
• To define the frequency range of the different frequency bands, use the handles at the sides of
each frequency band.
• To attenuate or boost the gain of the frequency bands by ±15 dB after compression, use the
handles at the top of each frequency band.
LIVE
If this button is activated, the look-ahead feature of the effect is deactivated. Look-
ahead produces more accurate processing, but adds a specific amount of latency as a
trade-off. If [Live] mode is activated, there is no latency, which is better for live
