About
Hephaestus is multiband dynamics. It splits the sound into four bands on phase-matched crossovers and compresses each on its own, so a booming low end can be held down without the vocal ducking with it, or harsh highs tamed only when they flare.
Upward brings each band's quiet detail up toward its threshold too, for the squashed, forward sound of heavy multiband processing. Drag a divider on the screen to move a crossover, drag in a band to set its threshold, and scroll for its ratio.
38 presets for mastering, mix buses, instruments, fixes and upward compression.
