Compressor Versus Multi-Band Compressor

Compressor Versus Multi-Band Compressor

Compressors & multi-band compressors are both handy tools & serve their place in the mix.

Regular compressors will reduce the entire signal as a whole, whereas multi-band compressors will target & compress certain frequency areas.

Usually, a regular compressor is perfect for the job when the goal is to control the dynamic range.

Situations where you may use a regular compress would be when you need the entire signal compressed down like the whole mix bus, a drum sum, a lead vocal, or a dynamic bassline.

You can still use a multi-band compressor later on in your chain. You can use both. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Situations where you may want to use a multi-band compressor need to reduce resonance, harshness, or buildup in a specific area.

Maybe a vocal has a little boxiness in the low mids & some harshness in the upper mids. Your mix bus may need a little rounding out in the low end & some reduction in highs.

Maybe you have a pad that's not very dynamic, but there's a slight bump in the mid-range that's conflicting with the rest of the mix. Multi-band compressors are perfect for this.

Multi-band compressors also work great for side-chain compression.

Especially when it comes to balancing 808s & kicks.
