The 6034 Ultimate Multi-band is a flexible multi-band dynamics processor. It offers all the award winning compression, expansion, and gating modules from the highly acclaimed 6050 Ultimate Channel Strip plug-in, in a four band crossover network.
Just like the 6050 modules, the 6034 Ultimate Multi-band modules can be swapped on the fly for quick auditioning while retaining relative settings. The crossover filter slopes can be configured as 6, 12, or 24 dB/Oct. Metering includes gain reduction and output levels on all crossover bands, as well as main input and output levels.
Using the FRGX module, each band can apply downward or upwards expansion. The downwards expansion can reduce some room tone, or just bring a different dynamic (pun intended) to the band. Upwards expansion can allow a give band to jump out a bit more in the mix, but only when strong signal levels are not present.
Get the kick drum on the lowest band, mix up the snare and toms with the two middle bands, and deal with cymbals in the highest band. There are certainly other ways to combine drum kit elements using a four-band crossover like the one in the 6034, and experimentation is encouraged.
