multiband compressor recommendations - as in i need some

[MrYellow]

Jumping on this thread a little late.... but found something that isn't written
about here....

http://wavearts.com/MultiDynamics.html

Just been using it today on my bass guitar sound, as I was starting to get
too many pluggins on it and latency was begining to become a problem. So
I cleared up some of the amp sim and EQ by using this instead..... Sounds
wonderful.... Truely a dream to use too.

I've heard Adam suggest their "TrackPlug" as being really handy too (EQ +
Compression) however for my bass nothing is beating this MultiDynamics
compressor.

Also.... Has adjustable look-ahead much like Compressor II..... and uses
around 6% to 8% CPU on my AMD 1800+ (1.6gHz).

preferably free but hey ho

what do you recommend

Most pro mastering engineers consider multi-comps more of a surgical tool used to fix something really wrong in a mix. They generally just use a really really nice single band compressor and eq to do their work.

This is not quite accurate. Mastering engineers will use Multiband compression either hardware or software.

Try this. Really helps me get better control of those low ends.
