Cannot believe this vid got so fewer views! Basically opened my eyes!
this is an absolutely masterful breakdown. you took something that was such a confusing little difference and made it so easy to understand. thank you!
Excellent breakdown! Very well composed and easy to follow along.
Great explanation! One note: when using band splitting with linear phase filters, and when the signal isn't being compressed or expanded, a multiband compressor will not introduce any artifacts or pre-ringing: it will be completely transparent. That's because the ringing of a low pass filter and the ringing of the high-pass filter just besides it will cancel each other out, so you're just left with the original signal (and the added latency introduced by the linear phase filters).
Really amazing! So well explained.
If you wanna colour the signal use saturation/ distortion. You’ll be surprised how very little saturation compressors give, especially Digital compressors. Feed a sine wave into one and look how very little harmonics are introduced.
keep up the work! pro video, helped a lot! wish your channel a fast growth :)
Simply and well explained, thanks man!
Great video! I learned a lot! Keep 'em coming!
what a nice explanation, really really x100 helpful. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
Best and clearest answer to this important question. Thanks
Your videos are all great but this one is special
super cool video ! thanks
Thanks for this information. Never thought of this before
Great video!
Thank you!

can't i just use a dynamic eq but widen the band to make it act like a multiband compressor? or is the attack/release settings on the compressor what gives the sound "character" as you explained? do dynamic eq's have attack/release settings? and if so, my original question still stands why not just always use a dynamic eq.
There are certain situations in which you can set up a dynamic EQ to act like a multiband compressor. Some dynamic EQs like Ozone 9's Dynamics give you precise control over attack and release values, while the attack and release of other dynamic EQs, like FabFilter's Pro-Q 3, are highly program-dependent.
The Pro-Q 3 doesn't provide you with attack and release controls. Instead, attack and release depend on the processed audio, the frequency range of the EQ band, and the current dynamic range. The results are natural and smooth sounding compression and expansion.
There are potential differences in "character" based on the design of devices, even when comparing dynamic EQs. When you throw multi-band compressors into the mix and introduce peculiarities captured by analog modeling, such as distortion, the differences become even more apparent.
I believe the takeaway here is that in some situations, yes, you can use a dynamic EQ instead of a multiband compressor. In other situations, you won't necessarily be able to capture the sound a particular multi-band compressor delivers using a dynamic EQ. It's best to make comparisons between dynamic EQs and multiband compressors on a case by case basis, as opposed to making overreaching generalizations; this helps avoid making statements that are too broad and potentially inaccurate.
@@BlackGhostAudio Thanks for the detailed explanation, I also didn't realize Pro-Q had an automatic attack/release setting that's interesting.
@@BlackGhostAudio check out kirchhoff eq...adds attack and relase etc
