The Sonoris Multiband Compressor (SMBC) is a highly precise three-band compressor available in multiple plugin formats for Windows and Mac. Designed with clean processing in mind, it excels at handling delicate audio material without compromising quality. Each of its three frequency bands operates independently, utilizing carefully crafted Linkwitz-Riley crossover filters that ensure phase accuracy and maintain a natural, analog-style sound. These filters avoid common issues like phase cancellation and ringing artifacts, delivering a smooth and transparent compression experience.

Beyond full mix compression, the SMBC offers advanced control by allowing each band to process specific stereo channels such as Left, Right, Mid, or Side, or any combination thereof. This flexible channel linking feature enables precise problem-solving within a mix, such as attenuating bass frequencies in the Mid channel or controlling specific transient peaks in one stereo side. This level of detailed manipulation helps maintain the integrity of the overall mix while targeting individual elements effectively.

Featuring a broad range of adjustable parameters including variable attack and release times, ratio settings up to limiting, and customizable knee behavior, the SMBC caters to both subtle and aggressive mastering needs. Additional tools like band solo modes, high-resolution metering, and multiple processing modes enhance workflow and accuracy. It supports extensive automation and offers a scalable interface for ease of use. Compatibility with various plugin standards ensures seamless integration across professional digital audio workstations.
