Hello, as of multiband compresion for mastering purpose, i use 4 bands most of the time, as the low spectrum needs special attention. My first consederation based on your frequencies, is they leave frequency gaps between bands. I couldn't say this is not a way to work, but i've never seen something like this before. In all my experiences, either integrated multiband compressors, or parrallel processed compressors always have crossing frequencies at the -3dB point. For example a three band multiband would be : Lowpass>350Hz , 350Hz>2KHz, 2KHz>Hipass Then you would adjust the crossover frequencies, compression settings to taste. For a four band setup, a starting point would be : Lowpass>200Hz , 200Hz>500Hz, 500Hz>3KHz, 3KHz>Hipass Raphaël 2013/11/26, Julien Claassen <julien@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hello everyone! > Nama has a sort of multiband compressor by using three parallel tracks, > all > processed by filters.
