As a part of my job I use MD3 from TC Electronic and the native cubase multiband compressor quite often. Somehow I prefere the cubase one more, the MD3 sounds somehow plastic or kindof very digital, maybe creamy dunno maybe good for psy.
What you think about them both and what are you using?
At home I prefere the logic one, unfortunately at my work there is no logic.
ProTools and Ableton havent used them multiband compressors. Any reviews about them?
Also any kind of mastering techniques with multiband comps (maybe with combination of another compressor(s)) that you can share are welcome.

interesting.. I guess it's because you master mostly electronic music with not much dynamics?
I must confess personaly I know nobody that don't use a multiband copressor at the end.

I use it plenty for mixing. Not so much for mastering, but it depends.
I find it most useful for the mid range, since on a bass heavy mix, low end is all the threshold's going to pick, it gives us some control, specially if there's to much dynamic range in there, some peaks that byte more then they should and that sort of stuff. Results are a lot different from simply balancing frequencies with an EQ.
This split filters nowadays are really good, to the point you can null the original with a phase inverted copy with one instance of MB compressor going, so it's pretty transparent and with adjustable Q/slope on most of them. I like the C4/C6 from waves (might be that I've grown used to it), the flux is very good, has tons of options and sounds very nice, ozone's not bad at all to my ears. |

C4 still cuts it for me! maybe just got used to the interface, fabfilter's seems highly inspired by it |
