A 5 band version Optimaster could be the best way =)
I like a lot the sound of Optimaster and I prefer it as Waves, Ozone, etc.
But I really miss the 5 band control in some complex cases.

Creamware crew, based on the existing Optimaster structure, adding 2 more bands takes no more than 15 minutes
Nothing to reinvent, just something to update.
Hurry up, X-mas is near!!!

building a circuit including variable crossover frequencies between 5 bands would be a lot more difficult than with a 3-band version (i'd imagine) (yes that's obvious)

You could try to load 2 Optimasters here, you could have 6 bands....

I need to try that one (although optimsters' crossover bands are glitchy which I hate.)

Nice idea Alfonso, I'll try it. Thank you!

Orbitone Impressor comes with a multiband version. Amazing compressor package, very transparent.

Thinking about the Alfonso's trick, maybe the wizard function wouldn't be usable anymore, because in that way every optimaster should work in a restricted part of the spectrum. So one of the interesting feature should miss.
I've not tryed it yet, so maybe I'm wrong.

i'd still like to have ONE device with a nice gui for this application

Yep, I use the wizard as start choice, I found it very useful (sometimes it drives me away from the right solution, but is in average a good start).
A 5 bands Optimaster... what a dream!

katano - it already exists. Impressor is one of the few things I use on virtually everything, it seems to be quite overlooked. It reminds me of a Joe Meek SC-2 (the original made by Ted Fletcher!), it makes things round and controlled and fat without taking over and screaming "I'm a compressor, look what I can do".

indeed i overlooked the impressor and also your earlier post ok, only 4 bands but i'll give the demo device a try.
thanx!

Yes indeed the multiband is 4-band. Still it's really nice and the interface is perfect. Also the lite version of the standard compressor is incredibly low in its DSP usage - I remember when I had only 4 dsps, I stopped counting after loading 30 instances This is the compressor I use on pretty much every track.
