Metric Halo Multiband Dynamics AAX|Native, AAX|DSP, AU, VST, Mac / Win

The Metric Halo Multiband Dynamics AAX|Native, AAX|DSP, AU, VST, Mac / Win is a plug-in that is designed to allow the users to add warmth, punch, and clarity to the mix. It is capable of shaping the timbral quality of the audio by running it through a three-band crossover, and it provides independent compression in each frequency range right before summing the result through a limiter. With no compression, the users is given the ability to broadly shape the timbre of the tracks, and if it is truly needed of a dynamic range control or dynamic EQ, just simply enable the compressor for the band.

The Metric Halo Multiband Dynamics is an essential tool for mastering and mixing, but is also possible to be used for sound design and other audio processing.

Grammy Award-Winning Engineer Gary Noble found that “The Multiband Dynamics processor recently helped me rescue part of a song,” he shared. “A break included a bass synth that was completely different from the bass texture used in the rest of the song. Raw, the new bass just didn’t fit in the song. But with a few moments and the Multiband Dynamics processor, I was able to lock it right in.”

Dynamics in modern recordings is always a challenge, and Grammy Award-Winning Producer and Engineer Julian King has found that “Unfortunately dynamic range in commercial recordings is almost non-existent and there seems to be an expectation for songs to be nearly full scale from start to finish,” continued King. “My job is to create the impression of dynamics in the mix even if they aren’t really there, as there has to be some lift as you transition from, say, a verse to a chorus. My mentor Lynn Peterzell called this “illusionary dynamics.” The Metric Halo Multiband Dynamics does a great job of keeping things nice and full and musical while still delivering a modern, full-scale output. It does its job, but you don’t sense that it is beating up the music.”
