Blue Cat Audio - MB-5 Dynamix

MB-5 Dynamix is Blue Cat Audio's multiband dynamics processor: up to five bands, each with its own compressor, limiter, gate, expander or waveshaper, built on the same engine as Blue Cat's Dynamics.

How it works

Crossover slopes run from 12 to 120 dB/oct, so bands can be cleanly separated or blended gently. The clever part is envelope routing: one band can trigger the dynamics on another, so a kick in the low band can duck the low mids, or a sibilant top end can tame a harsh upper mid. Mid/side processing, independent channel activation, dry/wet for parallel compression and a post brickwall limiter or waveshaper complete it.

Where it fits

Mastering, mix bus control, de-essing and taming boomy or harsh recordings, plus creative multiband side chain pumping. Copy and paste between bands keeps setup quick, and there's no latency.
