Multi-band compression

Multi-band compression applies compression separately to different frequency ranges.

Level relevance: introduced at Advanced Higher; tagged for every later level where the same concept remains useful.

Explanation

Multi-band compression can control bass, midrange, and high frequencies differently. It is useful in mastering and complex mixing, but poor settings can make the sound unnatural or unbalanced.
