Preset Multipressor
The Preset Multipressor is an easy-to-use variant of the Logic Pro Multipressor plug-in.
A multi-band compressor splits the incoming signal into different frequency bands
before applying compression. These frequency bands are then compressed
independently. Following compression, the frequency bands are mixed back together,
and sent out of the plug-in. The aim of independent compression on different
frequency bands is to reach high compression levels on the bands that need it, without
the pumping effect (on other bands) normally heard at high compression levels.
The interface of the Preset Multipressor features a menu that allows you to choose
between settings optimized for various genres; the names of the presets are pretty
much self-explanatory. Make use of the different presets and use your ears to
determine which one best fits your needs.
