Any tips on getting the multiband fx device more transparent?
Getting around a 2db boost while running audio through the multiband fx-2 (with no devices nested) and was wondering if it's possible to get more of a flat response.
It doesn't really bother me, but i'm curious if any of you have any solutions.

double checked and definitely getting a boost here.
just tried it in live as well with an EQ3 custom rack (which is not transparent) and selected flat response and did not get a boost with the same audio that was ran through bitwig's "multiband fx" device..

It does cause some phase shits or cancellation, on some material I can't hear it, but on some material the crossover changes a lot.

Using a crossover/ filters always has some effect on the signal. There are basically two types of filters: minimal phase and linear phase filters. Linear phase filters are generally more transparent, but induce more latency and can cause pre-ringing, especially at lower frequency bands. Miniumum phase filters induce a frequency dependent phase shift and are therefore less transparent, but do not cause pre-ringing and latencies. For that reason the Multiband-FX containers in Bitwig use minimum phase filters. What can make them more less obvious or in an ideal scenario, use the phase cancellation as to attenuate ugly frequencies, is finding a good crossover frequency.
