Waves Linear Phase Multiband Compressor: dynamic control without compromise

When it comes to perfecting the final mix, the Waves Linear Phase Multiband Compressor is the ideal choice. With its linear phase design, it eliminates phase shifting problems while faithfully preserving the original sound. Ideal for mastering, it allows precise and transparent handling of dynamics.

Separate compression and expansion per band

It's not just a compressor: you can expand one band, compress another, or leave some unchanged, as if they were linear equalizers. Each band is completely independent and parametric, offering advanced creative possibilities in sound management.

Custom attack and release

De-essing, transient management, and total control of dynamic response are provided by separate attack and release controls for each band. Works surgically on high, mid and low frequencies.

Adaptive accuracy and intelligent automations

The Adaptive Threshold function improves the clarity of masked bands, while Auto Makeup maintains a constant level between A/B comparisons. In addition, Auto Release Control (ARC) eliminates distortion or "pumping," ensuring sound is always balanced.

Creative control with character

Choose between "opto" or "electro" release, set soft or hard knee curves, and enable 24-bit dithering. Customization of dynamic behavior is complete to suit any type of professional audio project.
