Overview

Full-band or 3-band compression?

Fabrik C Studio includes both a 3-band and a Full-band compression mode. As Fabrik C Studio is a plug-in that is designed to be used on single sources and not as a dedicated mastering tool you might wonder how the 3-band mode applies.

An overall “rule of thumb” is that if you are working with a source that has a wide frequency range with large peaks in specific frequency areas, you are most likely best off using the 3-band mode. If, on the other hand you’re working with audio that is within a small frequency area, such as e.g. a trumpet section or background vocals, you’ll obtain a great advantage using the Full-band mode.

Let us look at a few specific application scenarios to give you an idea of what can be achieved with the different compression styles.

3-band compression on Bass

If you are to do a 3-band compression on a bass, this will allow the higher frequencies to pass through, while adding compression to lower frequencies. What this gives you is better control and longer sustain, and a more punchy bass with all
