About the Multiband Compressor block

A multiband compressor consists of multiple compressors working in parallel, each operating on a separate band of frequencies. Fractal Audio's Multiband Compressor employs 3 compressors. They work independently, so "pumping" in one band does not affect the others. An MBC is often used for mastering.
