MultibandExpander

Steinberg

MultibandExpander is a four-band dynamics processor that splits incoming signals into distinct frequency ranges, allowing you to reduce output levels below a set threshold in each band independently. This is ideal for enhancing dynamic range and reducing noise in quiet passages, with precise control over expansion parameters per band.

Key Features

014 frequency bands with independent expansion control
02Threshold and Ratio controls for each band
03Fall time 0.1 to 100 ms with adjustable expansion response
04Rise time 10 to 1000 ms or Auto mode
05Live mode to eliminate latency for real-time processing
06Side-chain filter with Frequency and Q-Factor controls
07Maximum Reduction setting per band
08Output level adjustment range -24 to 24 dB

Things to Try

  • 01Activate Live mode to eliminate look-ahead latency for real-time processing
  • 02Use the Bypass Band button to compare processed and unprocessed bands while setting parameters
  • 03Activate the Solo Band button to isolate and adjust individual frequency bands without interference from other bands
  • 04Enable the Side-Chain filter and adjust Frequency and Q-Factor to tailor how the expansion responds to the input signal
