Is there a multi-band compressor vst or how can it be done with ableton 7 if i dont have multiband dynamics pluginDepone wrote:lil tip from the pros
Use a multi-band Compressor or limiter to split.
1. Send one instruments sound to 3-4 aux busses.
2.Add just ONE MB Comp or limiter to the original, turn sends off for now. make your 3-4 bands of splittage, soloing each band to make sure they are splitting at the desired frequencies.
3.Now copy and paste this compressor/limiter to each of the sends, soloing one band at a time, making sure you dont touch the bands this time else you will fudge its phase up.
4. Bypass the original MP Comp/Limiter, turn sends on again, turn off the output from the original synth/instrument. then buss all the 3-4 sends back together again into one channel. Now if done correctly, the split and merge should sound near identical to the original before the split.
Effect each band as desired and enjoy

where might i save this template to?+verb wrote:here is a splitting and spreading rack i built awhile back for ableton 8. uses multiband for splitting, and some chorus, phaser, etc etc...
**can't figure out how to upload on the forum like at other forums... not possible maybe? anyhow it is in my dropbox for a small time being... cheers.

id then hipass this around 110-150 and layer in a sub... fun stuff.
big thanks to depone... i downloaded his MB template for logic many moons ago and got the idea from him re: multiband. it is seriously guys, the way to go. zero phase issues with crossover points on various eqs!
Thanks for this. But 1 questionDepone wrote:lil tip from the pros

What are the best effects to add to each band? Like to phatten up the bass sound? Ive got a nice reece re-sampled and split to 3 channels. Just would like some tips on the best way to go about it. I read another thread on this but cant find it.
Once you have split the sound, for me, its the idea of re-inforcing whats already there. I dont want to drastically change the bass by adding quite cheesy effects like flanger or phaser. SO i will normally use diferent distortion plugins or tape saturation emulations. To make the bass wider, to the highs and a little bit from the mids i will use an Aux send from these, sending the desired amount to a slow oscillating chorus, just enough so you dont hear it 'churn' the sound.ENNO wrote:+1Dark Reign wrote:Thanks for this.

Most of the commen effects seem to make the bassline thinner like flanger and chorus....a nudge in the right direction of how to make a bigger sound by splitting the frequencies would be nice
It depends on the material at hand! If the sub is nice and rich, then use it. If its a bit of a mess in the lower (100hz or less) range then personally I use a separate sine sub and filter the main bass (or turn off the sub split).narrator wrote:some great insight in here.
there was one thing i was wondering. would you just just the 1 instance of a synth for all 3 splits?
the reason i ask is because all 3 of the osc's on my main bass are digital waves so i was curious to know would you duplicate your main bass and change it to 1 osc set to sine or sine/square switching off any effects and reducing the number voices for the sub??
