Overview of Raising Jake Studios MB-3X

The MB-3X Multi-Band Mastering Compressor by Raising Jake Studios is a plugin emulating the classic hardware unit created by Rocksonics Professional Audio in the mid-1990s. Enhanced with modern features, this plugin is designed for smooth, low-distortion, and musically pleasing compression, making it an essential tool for mastering and dynamic control. Its program-dependent RMS level detectors ensure exceptional results with minimal phase distortion, while its intuitive setup makes it accessible for all users.

Features of Raising Jake Studios MB-3X

• Advanced Multi-Band Compression:

  • Three fixed bands separated by constant amplitude Bessel crossovers for minimal phase distortion and no pre-ringing.
  • Program-dependent RMS level detectors for smooth, "musical" compression.
  • Single Threshold control with individual band "tilting" trim adjustments for quick setup.

• Enhanced Audio Control:

  • Hilbert Control: Reduces THD (total harmonic distortion) to inaudible levels across most frequencies.
  • Variable Saturation: Adds harmonic distortion for a rich, present sound.
  • Wet/Dry Mix Controls: Separate mix controls for both the compressor section and the overall process, ideal for parallel compression.
