{"product_id":"mb3x","title":"MB3X","description":"\u003cp\u003eMB3X Multi-Band Mastering Compressor is a plugin emulation of the hardware unit made by Rocksonics Professional Audio in the mid-1990s - with a few BONUS features that are only available in the plugin. MB3X is a mastering-class compressor\/limiter with extremely low distortion and maximum musicality. MB3X uses multiple layers of program-dependent RMS level detectors for smooth, low-distortion “musical” results, while being very simple to set up and operate. The compressor has three fixed bands of compression separated by unique, constant-amplitude Bessel crossovers that produce very low phase distortion and NO pre-ringing. A single Threshold control sets the nominal threshold, which can be trimmed individually for each band via unique “tilting” trim controls, making it extremely fast to set up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB3X compressor can be used to automatically balance the audible spectrum in applications such as Web Radio, or it can be adjusted to preserve the source EQ balance when used in applications such as mastering. In both cases, the compressor will bring out the details in the sound while controlling dynamics in a musically pleasing way for a “finished” sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 2em; padding-top: 2em; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; color: #333; font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: disc; padding-left: 1.5em; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003eA\/B memory recall of two different sets of settings.
