3. Side chain input with full band and band limited modes
4. High-resolution spectrum analyser displays the input and output volume at each frequency
ULTRA LOW DISTORTION COMPRESSOR ALGORITHM
This unique envelope follower design ensures harmonic distortion of less than -140 dB for the full range of compressor settings. There is no cleaner compressor on the app store.
SIDE CHAIN INPUT
In host apps that support multi-input audio units you can use this app to achieve the pumping side chain effect typically heard in electronic dance music where the synth and other background instruments duck their volume in deference to the kick drum on every beat.
The side chain input of this plugin has two modes. In full-spectrum mode each frequency band is compressed according to the volume of the full spectrum of sidechain input. In single-band mode each band is compressed based on the side chain level in only that frequency band itself.
COMPRESSOR CONTROLS
Each of up to four bands has eight compressor settings. They are input gain, output gain, attack time, release time, threshold, ratio, soft/hard knee, and wet mix.

Ratings and Reviews
Customization limitations
First things first - can actually confirm the point that harmonic distortion is low indeed as stated in the description, which makes it a decent option for a compessor.
But on the other hand - i was quite surprised to see how poor options for some of the parameters are, and just can’t see any good reason for this.
• specifically - ratio options are 1.5:1, 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 16:1, 1000:1. uhmm.. rly? no choice at least in between 4:1 and 8:1, 8:1 and 16:1?
this one is the biggest downside for me personally.
• the lowest possible value of release for each band is 50ms… - ??? really no potential use case scenarios u could see for 20-30-40ms values to include those to the parameter?
• the lowest treshhold is -40db. honestly expected it to be at least -50db for some heavy parallel cases. though it could be adjusted through input gain knob to match the needs - this is just a matter of comfort of usage. why to tweak two parameters if it can be done with just one knob?
…it’s just that to go for a MBCompressor by itself is a subject for some let’s call it “advanced” users’ choice, which makes it unreasonable to cut the customization options of the plugin this way, it just makes no sense to me.
If it matters - i would ask u to at least include some sort of switch to “unlock” additional values for the parameters i mentioned above, if u consider it crutial for the plugin to have this limited choice by default.
so my rate is 3of5 taking into consideration all the above in combination with a pricetag which just doesn’t fit the concept of such user interface limitations in my opinion (still crying about the ratio😭). for the half price it would look reasonable, but not for the actual amount it’s being sold for.
Please fix
