Table 3-9: MB Band Mix Controls
MB Drive control adjusts the signal level going into the multiband compressor, and
therefore determines the average amount of gain reduction in the multiband compressor.
Range is 25 dB.
Adjust the
MB Drive control to your taste and format requirements. Used lightly with
slower multiband release times, the multiband compressor produces an open, re-equalized
sound. The multiband compressor can increase audio density when operated at faster re-
lease times because it acts increasingly like a fast limiter (not a compressor) as the release
time is shortened. With faster release times, density also increases when you increase the
drive level into the multiband compressor because these faster release times produce
more limiting action. Increasing density can make sounds seem louder, but can also result
