Metric Halo Multiband Dynamics: Shape Your Mix with Clarity, Warmth, and Punch

The Metric Halo Multiband Dynamics processor is an essential tool for mixing, mastering, and sound design. By splitting your audio into three independent frequency bands, it allows you to apply dynamic range control and timbral shaping with precision. Each band features independent compression controls, while the summed output passes through a limiter for maximum level control and clarity.

With its integrated SpectraFoo™ spectrum analysis, intuitive interface, and built-in presets, Multiband Dynamics makes it easy to enhance your audio, whether you’re crafting a polished mix or designing sound effects. Its flexibility extends from subtle dynamic EQ adjustments to bold, creative compression.
