Multiband compression is a powerful mastering essential that splits a signal into separate bands, letting you compress them individually, or process some and not others. If not used properly, though, multiband compression can spawn more problems than it clears up. That’s where the Softube Drawmer S73 Intelligent Master Processor plug-in comes in: it’s programmed to emulate the choices a pro mastering engineer would make. Simply use the Type switch to select from a menu of proven mastering techniques that include multiband compression, EQ, and mid-side processing to zero-in on the sound that best complements your mix.
