This allows more precise dynamic control.<br /> <br /> == Why Use Multiband Compression? ==<br /> Different frequency ranges behave differently. A multiband compressor can:<br /> * Tame harsh highs without affecting the low end<br /> * Control boomy bass without squashing vocals<br /> * De-ess or enhance specific tonal areas<br /> <br /> == Common Bands ==<br /> A typical setup might include:<br /> * Low (20–120 Hz)<br /> * Low-Mid (120–1000 Hz)<br /> * High-Mid (1k–4k Hz)<br /> * High (4k–20k Hz)<br /> <br /> == Independent Controls Per Band ==<br /> Each band usually has:<br /> * Threshold<br /> * Ratio<br /> * Attack / Release<br /> * Gain (for post-compression adjustment)<br /> * Solo / Bypass / Mute options<br /> <br /> == Applications ==<br /> * Mastering: fine-tuning the dynamics across the spectrum<br /> * Broadcast: ensuring consistency across diverse content<br /> * Live sound: isolating problem frequencies without over-compressing<br /> * Vocals and instruments with wide tonal range<br /> <br /> == Example Use Case ==<br /> You may compress only the high band to reduce hiss (e.g., tape or shellac noise), leaving bass and mids untouched — a typical setting in hiss reduction presets.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Compressor]]<br /> * [[Equalizer]]<br /> * [[Limiter]]</div>
