Reflex Acoustics releases MidSideSixteen Automatic Multiband Compressor (VST3/AU)

Reflex Acoustics has released MidSideSixteen, a multiband master bus processor that combines 16 frequency bands of independent mid and side compression, gating and saturation.

From the company:

MidSideSixteen can add clarity and detail to an almost-finished mix, with mastering-grade features such as perfectly-reconstructing crossovers and selective oversampling within the bands. Designed to be quickly configurable without the need to manually calibrate each band, the plugin automatically sets its own gain-staging to target a loudness-matched, EQ-neutral result.

Users seeking more control can double-click the display to reveal compression and saturation intensity dials for each frequency range.

Features:

• Sixteen frequency bands, with solo ("S.") button for each band.
• Automatic threshold adjustment based on the incoming signal level—use the "Compression" knobs to control how far each threshold rides below the peaks in your signal.
• Frequency-dependent attack timing designed to preserve transients.
• Variable global release time.
• Simple multiband gating with adjustable range up to 6dB.
• Subtle multiband saturation with automatic drive and level trim on each band (oversampled if project sample rate is below 80kHz).
• Parallel processing via dual gain-matched dry/wet mix controls for dynamics and saturation.
• Automatic make-up gain to match perceived loudness.
• Mid-side processing (100% unlinked).
• Most controls can be automated.

Price: $95 from reflex-acoustics.com. A free demo is available.
