ive tried multiband here in there.. and tbh ive never got the hang of it.. they say its the same as normal compression just for 4 bands.. but i always seem to f*** the sound up.
IMO i think you are best trying to get the best mix without/ or with very little compression at all.. the only time MB compression should be needed is at mastering id say.
Yeah, your dead right - - had a good chat with Steve about it n he said what you are saying...
