Audio Multiband Compressor

Compress the lows, mids and highs of a clip each on their own, so a boomy bass or a harsh top is held without pumping the rest, such as glueing a mix before the limiter.

Name	Type	Default	Description
audio	AUDIO		The clip to compress.
low_split	FLOAT	20040–1000	Hertz between the low and mid bands. `120` = kick and bass only; `200` = typical; `400` = includes low mids.
high_split	FLOAT	30001000–12000	Hertz between the mid and high bands. `2500` = presence and up; `6000` = air and sibilance only.
low_threshold_db	FLOAT	-20.0-60–0	dBFS the low band starts compressing at, such as `-20`.
low_ratio	FLOAT	3.01–20	Ratio of the low band. `1` = off; `3` = firm.
low_gain_db	FLOAT	0.0-24–24	dB added to the low band after compression. `0` = none.
mid_threshold_db	FLOAT	-20.0-60–0	dBFS the mid band starts compressing at, such as `-20`.
mid_ratio	FLOAT	2.01–20	Ratio of the mid band. `1` = off; `2` = gentle.
mid_gain_db	FLOAT	0.0-24–24	dB added to the mid band after compression. `0` = none.
high_threshold_db	FLOAT	-24.0-60–0	dBFS the high band starts compressing at, such as `-24`.
high_ratio	FLOAT	2.51–20	Ratio of the high band. `1` = off; `2.5` = tames harshness.
high_gain_db	FLOAT	0.0-24–24	dB added to the high band after compression. `0` = none.
attack_ms	FLOAT	15.00.1–500	Milliseconds every band takes to come down. `5` = tight; `30` = keeps transients.
release_ms	FLOAT	1505–5000	Milliseconds every band takes to recover. `80` = lively; `300` = glued.
mix	FLOAT	1.000–1	`1` = fully compressed; `0` = the input unchanged.
output_db	FLOAT	0.0-24–24	dB applied to the result. `0` = unchanged.
