Harmonic Multiband Compressor

Each of the six bands is a complete compressor, with its own timing, knee, makeup and range, a choice of RMS or Peak detection and a high-pass on its detector. A band can push peaks down, or in UP mode lift quiet detail by up to 30 dB. Drag a crossover or double-click it to type a frequency, drag a band's threshold line to set it, and solo or mute any band to hear exactly what it is doing. The Harmonics Engine adds saturation at two points. IN DRIVE works on every band before compression. It can feed the detectors alone, so the bands compress more evenly while the audio you hear stays clean, or in AUDIBLE mode it saturates the bands themselves, with optional 2x or 4x oversampling. OUT EXCITER colors the summed mix, from bright density at low settings to a darker, thicker sound higher up, with its own level matching of up to 6 dB. Lookahead of up to 10 ms helps the bands catch fast peaks, and MIX blends processed and dry sound for parallel compression, going past 100 percent for extra wet gain. With oversampling and lookahead off, Harmonic adds no latency; with them on, it reports the delay to your DAW so everything stays aligned. Two setup slots, A and B, plus undo, redo and LINK ALL make it quick to compare ideas and move every band together. Six factory presets, from gentle mastering and bass tightening to vocal de-essing and presence control, give you a starting point, and you can save your own.
