max1mus audio has released Mult1Comp, a multiband compressor and frequency router for surround and immersive mixing.
Mult1Comp does three jobs
- Surround multiband compressor:
- On a surround channel from 5.1 up to 9.1.6, every speaker splits into up to eight bands, the heights and the LFE included, and every band has its own compressor.
- Timing follows each band’s range, so bass bands react slowly and treble bands quickly.
- Set up ALL once and every speaker follows it, then change any speaker on its own.
- Frequency-range object router:
- Put the same source on several object tracks and add Mult1Comp to each.
- The instances link automatically and each one takes a band, up to 16 in a group.
- Open any of them to edit the whole group’s crossover in one window, then place each object in your renderer.
- Bass manager:
- On a bed, any band can be routed to a different speaker.
- Presets send the low end to the LFE or to L and R at 80 Hz or 120 Hz.
- SUB BASS SYNTHESIS adds a sub an octave below whatever reaches the LFE.
Key features:
- Surround multiband compressor for beds from 5.1 to 9.1.6.
- Up to eight bands per speaker, each with its own compressor.
- Up to 16 bands across linked object tracks, in 16 groups.
