I'm pretty sure the M-Comp Mix parameter is not working correctly.
I'm trying now and with the mix set to 100% it sounds fine, at 0% it sounds the same as when the block is bypassed but around 50% it sounds phasey - is this what you're experiencing?
This is the reason I don't like Mix controls on things like this but someone asked for it... It's inevitable that it will cause phasiness because the crossovers cause phase shift.
Since plug-ins/DAWs aren't having to process audio in real-time, I would imagine that they are applying a micro-delay to the dry signal to keep it in phase with the processed signal.??Thanks for the info. I don't know if you've ever used FabFilter's multiband compressor plugin, but if so, any idea how they managed to get around the issue?
Probably using FIR filters. IIR filters will inherently have phase shift.Thanks for the info. I don't know if you've ever used FabFilter's multiband compressor plugin, but if so, any idea how they managed to get around the issue?

TBH I don't understand why anyone would ever use a mix control on a multiband compressor...

I don‘t understand it either, but did you try to split the signal, use the MBC with one part (mix=100%) and combine it afterwards with the uncompressed part?
Yes FabFilter use linear phase filters or what the call Natural phase filters (which I believe is somehow a happy medium between linear and minimum phase filters).Probably using FIR filters. IIR filters will inherently have phase shift.

this "mixes in" un-eq'd signal, not really a level right?Rather than adjusting 3 individual bands, you can control the overall level of the mix with a single parameter.

This! So much this! I don't use multiband comps in DAW sessions anymore, getting better results with dynamic EQ.I really think it could be great to have a dynamic EQ in the box - even just a single band.
