Production Advice

Yesterday I wrote about one of the secret weapons of the professional mastering engineer – multiband compression. If you’d like more information than is included in that post, I’ve recorded a 50-minute webinar on using multiband compression for mastering, hosted by Joe Gilder from Home Studio Corner. You can check out the replay for free, here:

Mastering with Multiband Compression

Some of the topics we covered include:

• A visual description of multiband compression
• How you could build your own multiband compressor (not recommended !)
• My goals when using multiband compression
• Why you shouldn’t use multiband compression when you’re mixing
• The difference between multiband compression and mix buss compression
• The importance of selecting the frequency ranges correctly
• Why I only use three bands
• How multiband sounds different from single-band compression
• Where to use it in the mastering chain
