Multiband question

What do you mean by "100% used" ?

If you mean "gain reduction" then… I think the only preset that’s ever been made that really uses all of the gain reduction anywhere… was Moon & Spoon which has INSANE levels of treble density. Leif found a bug (and fixed it) in the code driving those meters where it made the meter actually wrap around through to the other side. Hehehe. I think his exact first worst when he saw it was "Holy Sh**!" 😆

But to answer the question that way, there isn’t a maximum gain reduction. So there is no "100% used" as far as gain reduction.

If you mean "number of bands" in relation to the processing topology, then yes Zenith uses the maximum number of 7 bands.

Did either of those answer your question?

[quote author=”Boki”]I asked the question wrong.
i mean, something like mix between multiband and agc. 80/20% or 70/30% or 60/40% – multiband/agc

i ask this because when i listen zenith, some loud midrange tones stays loud, like multiband does not work.[/quote]

It is supposed to be subtle. The whole design approach on that preset was to do as much as I could get away with, (hopefully) without it ever sounding like there’s any processing going on. Many people like it because sometimes stuff like "loud midrange tones" that are loud… maybe SHOULD be loud. Zenith lets the emotion of the music be whatever it is.

You might like my upcoming Passive Aggressor preset more, because it has much more spectral balancing yet comes off as sounding more open when it comes to shorter-term dynamics.

I think with me it’s more like every three hours… lol 😀
