Description:
Introduce a multi-band compressor and limiter, allowing users to control dynamics across different frequency bands independently, offering more precise control over the audio signal.
Problem:
Currently, users have limited options for controlling dynamics within specific frequency ranges. A standard compressor affects the entire signal, making it difficult to achieve the desired balance in mixes where certain frequencies may need more dynamic control than others.
Proposed Solution:
  • Add a multi-band compressor and limiter plugin that splits the audio signal into multiple frequency bands (e.g. low, mid, high)
  • Each band should have independent control for threshold, ratio, attack, release, and make-up gain
  • Allow users to apply compression or limiting to each band separately, enhancing mix control
  • Provide intuitive visual feedback for each frequency band to help users adjust settings
  • Optional: enable sidechain capabilities for individual bands to control dynamics based on external input signals
Benefits:
  • Provides more control over the dynamics of a mix, especially for complex or multi-layered sounds
  • Prevents unwanted pumping or distortion in specific frequency ranges
  • Ideal for mixing complex sources like vocals, drums, or full mixes where different frequency ranges need separate dynamic processing
  • Improves sound quality by giving users control over the balance between frequency bands without affecting the entire signal
