Why use it
What it doesFour bands, each with its own compressor, crossovers you drag on the spectrum.
Reach for it whenTaming a boomy low end without dulling the top. Bus work where one band is misbehaving.
What makes it differentPhase-compensated splits - bypassing every band sums flat. Dynamic EQ mode when you want bell shapes instead of bands.
Four bands, each with its own compressor, and crossovers you drag on the spectrum.
The band splits are phase-compensated, so bypassing every band sums back flat instead of leaving a dip where the crossovers meet.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2
· Mix no longer clicks when automated (0.596 → 0.0012).
· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.
· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.
· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.
EARLIER IN 1.6
· Detector CB mode - ballistics measured from a reference compressor, within 1% of the reference trajectory
REGISTRATION
· The plug-in runs unrestricted for a 7-day trial from first launch, counted separately for each plugin.
· Your licence key is on your Gumroad receipt and download page.
· Paste it into the plug-in once — it needs internet that one time, then works offline.
· Message me on Gumroad if you need it reset for a new machine.
