18 Band, Multi Band Compressor

[DJ SymBiotiX]

So for no reason I decided to make an 18 band compressor for reason/record.

Here is a picture of what it looks like (its a link because it is VERY long): http://www.djsbx.com/Files/MBCompressor18.png

I made this primarily for throwing into the mastering chain. If you need very fine Multi Band Compression, this can probably help you.

Bands are separated as such:

(X = Bottom Bound, Y = Upper Bound)

Low:
X - 100 Hz
100 Hz - 134 Hz
124 Hz - 173 Hz
173 Hz - 272 Hz
272 Hz - 375 Hz

Mid:
375 Hz - 455 Hz
455 Hz - 535 Hz
535 Hz - 649 Hz
648 Hz - 787 Hz
787 Hz - 955 Hz
955 Hz - 1.16 KHz
1.16 KHz - 1.36 KHz
1.36 KHz - 1.88 KHz
1.88 KHz - 2.28 KHz

High:
2.28 KHz - 3.05 KHz
3.05 KHz - 4.49 KHz
4.49 KHz - 6 KHz
6 KHz - Y

There is also an extra compressor and maximizer at the end of the signal chain, for overall tweaking.

Alright, so after taking some advice and stuff, I've decided to make a simpler less CPU intensive combinator that can be used in many places (since it isn't a massive beast :P)

I present my 3 Band Crossover Compressor. (3 Band X-Compressor)
Rotary 1 Controls the low crossover point, and Rotary 2 Controls the high crossover point.
This way, you can define for yourself at what frequency points Low/Mid/High gets chopped off at.
I have also included an EQ specifically for Visualization purposes. Its not 100% accurate, but it will give you a very decent representation of where your low/mid/high crossover points are.

Crossover points can go from 100 Hz up to 6000Hz (6KHz)

*******DO NOT SET THE LOW CROSSOVER POINT ABOVE THE HIGH ONE OR VICE VERSA!! It just wont split the frequencies properly if you do so*******

Enjoy :D

I don't use Reason very often but this looks nice, and at the very least more practical than an 18 band compressor.

Here is also a 5 band version. LOL I think this is the end to my crazy multi band compressor obsession for now XD

Again, the EQ's are there for visual purposes, and again dont let the crossovers cross eachother (low < lo-mid < hi-mid < hi)
