The Easiest MB Compressor You’ll Ever Use
A multiband compressor is one of the indispensable tools in a professional mix engineer’s toolbox. However, their complicated controls can be intimidating if you’ve never used one. That’s why Sweetwater studio engineers praise the AVA Multiband Compressor plug-in from Harrison Audio — it’s among the easiest-to-use multiband compressors they’ve seen! The plug-in’s powerful internal processing calculates the best possible settings for each frequency band’s attack, release, and other settings, ensuring each signal is phase coherent. This functionality frees you up to simply locate problematic frequencies — which two solo modes make super easy to do — and apply correction up to -12dB. The Harrison Audio AVA Multiband Compressor also features a sidechain with dedicated EQ and a Real Time Analyzer (RTA), and its ultra-low latency processing means you can use it for the stage and studio alike.

Easy, fast, and powerful
Harrison Audio’s AVA Multiband Compressor plug-in centers around its intelligent algorithm. This incredibly powerful tool calculates optimal settings for you and frees you up for locating and correcting troublesome frequencies. The AVA Multiband Compressor also has a sidechain key input with dedicated EQ so it’s easy to create both balanced compression and more artistic effects like ducking or pumping. Rest assured: this compressor is a seriously robust, user-friendly tool that novices will enjoy using; pros will also enjoy using it, thanks to its speed and efficiency.


Speedy locating with two solo modes
You can easily isolate and adjust frequencies with the plug-in’s Band Solo and Auto-Solo modes. First, Band Solo lets you listen to and focus on any individual band. Next, Auto Solo automatically lets you hear the band you are currently modifying to hear your changes in real time. Each band can also be bypassed or disabled. These two modes make it effortless to zoom in on thorny frequencies with sonic speed and then reduce them by up to -12dB.
See what you’re doing with the RTA
The AVA Multiband Compressor lets you “see” your mix with its integrated RTA analyzer. The plug-in’s main display sports a high-resolution, high-speed RTA analyzer that can show you the input or output signal in real time, thus providing you with excellent visual feedback.
