Digititus- is that how you spell it?

isn't a "dynamic" eq = a [digital] multi-band compressor?
if that is the case, i don't think we disagree too much.
john(massive) may not concur, however.

imo also: multiband is more or less the same as parallel sidechained
compression. i don't see why anyone should dislike it on principle.

Yes.

And in fact, I've been finding myself using my UAD Multi-band compressor that way to a great degree of success.

I don't find it doing the traditional "compression" jobs.

My beef with MB Compression is a completely different beef in that most people really have no clue why or how to use it - just that they "MUST" to be a mastering engineer (of course referring to basement and garage engineers here...)

Where I've been having some success with it is in the higher frequencies where at too great of an amplitude, they can get strident but too low of an amplitude and they get lost. Of course, a VERY little bit goes a VERY long way.
