Nuke Multiband

Three Bands. One Feedback Core.

A precision multiband compressor designed for engineers, producers and mastering professionals who expect complete control over every part of the spectrum without sacrificing musicality.

Nuke Multiband takes the natural response of Nuke MK1's analog feedback compressor and gives it to you three times over one fully independent compressor for each frequency band.

Every gain reduction curve, crossover point and control has been engineered to feel musical, predictable and reliable in real world production.

Whether you're carving out space in a busy mix, taming problematic frequencies or mastering a complete record, Nuke Multiband delivers clean, targeted dynamics with optional analog saturation whenever you need it.

Why Nuke Multiband?

Most multiband compressors force you to choose between surgical precision and musical cohesion.

Nuke Multiband gives you both.

Its three independent feedback compressors react naturally to incoming material, delivering smooth gain reduction while preserving punch, depth and transient detail.

Instead of harsh digital splits, the spectrum is divided by an analog style crossover featuring soft overlapping slopes, allowing every band to blend seamlessly back together.

A shared saturation stage can then add controlled harmonic richness after recombination, giving the complete signal subtle analog character without compromising clarity.

Every stage from crossover to compression, saturation and limiting has been calibrated to behave as one complete dynamics ecosystem rather than three separate processors.

Professional Features

Three Independent Feedback Compressors

Classic feedback compression on Low, Mid and High bands, inherited from Nuke MK1, for smooth musical dynamics with exceptional spectral control.

Analog-Style Crossover

Soft overlapping crossover slopes calibrated against reference analog hardware for seamless band transitions.

Dry / Wet Blend

Blend the original and processed signals before the shared saturation stage for perfectly balanced parallel compression.

Link Out

Link all three output controls together while preserving the relative balance between bands.

Per-Band Solo

Solo one band or any combination of two to monitor exactly what each compressor contributes.

Shared Soft Clip Saturation

One analog-style saturation stage after recombination adds harmonics where they matter most.

Peak Limiter

Transparent true-peak protection at the final output stage.

Real-Time THD Meter

Monitor harmonic generation live and dial in the perfect amount of coloration.

High-Resolution Gain Reduction Metering

Independent 32 dB gain reduction meters for each band provide accurate visual feedback.

Preset Management

Save, recall, copy and paste complete processing chains with separate Factory and User preset libraries.

Built for Mixing & Mastering

Nuke Multiband adapts naturally to virtually any source:

• Drums.
• Bass.
• Vocals.
• Synths.
• Mix Bus.
• Master Bus.

From transparent multiband glue to aggressive frequency shaping, every control has been designed for fast, confident decisions across the entire spectrum.

Philosophy

Calibration is not the final step.
It is the foundation.

Every Side Key System processor is designed, measured, tested and calibrated throughout development to ensure stable behaviour, repeatable results and uncompromising precision.

Nuke Multiband's crossover was calibrated against real hardware measurements because a multiband processor is only as good as the transitions between its bands.

Every parameter serves a purpose.
Every interaction has been deliberately tuned.

Create audio tools that behave like precision instruments rather than generic plugins.
