Great plugin

This multi-band compressor is really good and is better than most of the top models in the market. 12 individual bands, upwards/ downwards compression for each band, (width, drive and saturation controls for each band). WHO DOES THAT. Thank you very much Toneboosters 🙏
I have just one suggestion for the UI of this app. In the settings for the spectrum analyzer, include a gain range control between 3db, 5db and 10db, especially 3db just like you have in TB Equalizer Pro’s settings menu. This is particularly helpful so that we can visually see how much compression is being applied on a material because this effect is typically applied on a mixbus which should be subtle and not drastic. Thank you 🙏

Love all the apps

Love all the apps top quality and bang for the buck …. A small request though… could you please add more update presets for plugins for vocals and different instruments and scenarios on this and all the other plugins you offer on iOS system…. Would be so helpful to just have more fast reliable presets that help some of us non professional people in out creative work flow Thank you 🙏

Built for iOS & iPadOS - 3 or more FX into one slot.

iOS/iPadOS and Apple’s baby DAW are the mainstay of my music, so if an offering for Mastering or multi-processing a solo track in GB comes along, that can place 3 or more functions into one FX slot, eventually I will try it. I don’t have any criticisms of TB’s MBC, and having the pre-eminent rival’s complete suite, it’s best to just point out the obvious.

Probably, if you were the Brian Wilson of your time, you could better a ‘packaged’ all-in-one FX like this. Using the individual component offerings for EQ, Limiting, Saturation, etc, you may well extract every last ounce of musicality from a modest mix. The main issue is practicality however - if you are in GB, you will run out of slots and be having to decide which critical aspect of Mastering you can do without (!). Luckily, it’s not as clear-cut as that, and the main rival without crowing about it, builds-in aspects of other functions, to their main EQ offering. BUT…

…this is an awfully competent FX suite, compact and clicked together and not only conveniently complemented with presets (‘Masters Fav’ and many others for component track/single instrument use, for example, which you can duplicate a safe copy of, tweak and rename as your own), but built with precision like a well-honed Rubix Cube kit would be. In short, ToneBoosters have produced a substantive alternative to rivals, that has made the shortage of slots in Apple’s mini-GarageBand for example, into a benefit.

TB MBC has a fair bit of expertise built into the presets, and the comparison mix/master I just did, produced good results. In a day’s time it would be hard to tell which was which - and the mastered song at the end, is merely different between rivals, but none of the leaders are bad in iOS/iPadOS FX processing. This is up there, and I don’t feel the need to denigrate alternatives in saying that. Did I say it saves you at least 2 FX slots?! That’s a lot out of a total of only 4 in GB, after all.
