And the way they typically to use it is very subtle. It's always a compromise.Ī lot of pro's won't touch it unless they have to as well. If they did, they'd just go back and compress the bass more if it needed more compression maybe give it a buss with the bass drum. ![]() The MAIN reason mastering engineers use it is because they don't have control over individual tracks in your mix. If you can get it really right in the mix, you should be able to do without multiband processing. It used to be more important when you only had 2 or 3 h/w compressors to use but now you can compress and treat every track as much as you want and you can run busses/groups/subgroups/etc. But, all these years on, it's the unmastererd stuff you ACTUALLY want to listen to.īasically, if you can get it right in the mix, there is no need to use multiband compression/limiting at all. ![]() And you compare one vs another at the time, and the multiband compressed stuff sounds wider, louder, flatter, more consistent, more pro really. I used to co-manage a label years back, and I've still got loads of pre-masters, as well as mastered CD's. Multiband compression and limiting can make a huge difference, but they fuck with your sound in other ways which are less appreciable at first.
