Great. Now I can‘t unhear it

Ahahahaha

Ohh.. Im doing it wrong.... I put salad on and in my multi band........ Damn

Tossed?

@@HOC666 Not tossed.... Shaken, and not stirred.

@@Rhythmattica Ouch! That would be painful!

Hey man, can you make a tutorial on that? Thank you!

Multiband is teh tool of noobs...from 2005..everybody Suggs their mixes by adding Multiband...use a dynamic EQ instead unless you really know what you are doing.

Question: Would you use that gate as a creative effect or a mixing effect? As someone fairly new to using multi and compression I don’t see why i would need to gate only specific frequencies i would love to learn though, when do you use it?

@@tsrb8646 I don't remember if I've used it as an effect, but one thing I do very often with it is gate the kick drum, so everything below 100hz or 80hz gets gated, so it doesn't ring too long. This helps so the bass instrument can be heard better (since the lower end of kick and a bass instrument happen share same frequency range). I guess you can use regular gate too, but the way I see it only the lower frequencies need to be gated. The kick is snappy this way. Other use would be, if you're working on someone else's track (remixing?), and you don't have separate tracks for every drum instrument (and thus only have one drum track to work on, drum buss or something), here the multiband feature becomes useful. The kick gating is useful here as it's only way to only gate lowend, but you can also use the gate on cymbals or snares, so you're basically doing multiband transient shaping by determining how long you want different frequency ranges to play. One trick I do often is I drive snare drum with saturators (FF Saturn is pretty good, some drive and dynamic) , and then when it starts ringing too much (and also resonating), I cut some of the resonance with EQ that the saturator brought up, and then also gate it so it doesn't play too long.

@@MacReviewzOnline I know this is a late comment but LMAO no way your comment is real

Imagine each band was a pro c 2 inside it. 😮

It sounds amazing

You can hear the top end life he's searching for in the multiband to correct what should have been in the mix though - bit dead on saturation and air.

Sounds like they didn’t use a tube or preamp

Can you explain more how to do this on the C&? Thanks!

@@benking8610 on the pro mb click the "free" option - it sets a band that is the sidechain. So if u set 1 band at 10k and up, and the "free" band at 150hz and below, then the high end band is being sidechained by the low end band.

Thanks Isaac. Do you know what it was that would make your mixes muddy and "lifeless" when using multiband compression previously? I'm curious so that I can avoid the same happening to me! Haha. I'm just starting out here.

Louis Jans compared to 15 yes

Its Multiband compression, It makes no Sense To use bands less than 4.

@@miscellaneous1276 It actually does. Depending on the material you're working on you could be working even with as little as just 1 band. There's no need to affect the whole frequency spectrum, sometimes you just want to tame one specific area without affecting the rest of the spectrum. You're clearly not very experienced. A mixing engineer uses these tools for a specific purpose/need not just because "it's a multiband compressor, there's no point in using it if you're going to use less than 5 bands" that's so idiotic from an engineering point of view.

@@djvar94 Yes In that way but then you probably would have 3 bands if you know what I mean.

in multiband compressor, it makes no sense to use more than 1 band.

Dynamic EQs and multiband compressors look a lot alike, but aren't the same from a technical standpoint. A MBC splits the signal into frequency bands, then runs each of these through a compressor and finally mixes them back together. A DEQ put's the input through an EQ, but the parameters of the EQ are automated using envelopes of filtered versions of the input signal as controls. For a lot of applications you can get similar results with either, but I can think of weird uses that are only possible with one of them (though these also tend to involve building my own versions og DEQs and MBCs in Reaktor or with the flexible routing in REAPER to get past limitations of the available VSTs).

Yup, the JS n-band splitters and joiners do that job, though the rs-met crossover vst is the better splitter and free (all the freebie vsts from rs-met are useful). Then you can just use any compressor you want on each band (or any plugin, why not try adding reverb only to the high frequencies or setting different delays for two mid-bands).

No they are just really good plugins

They’re expensive but amazingly fun to use, and full featured.
