The ML4000 is a high resolution limiter and multiband dynamics processor designed for live music, mastering, post and sound.
The ML4000 is composed of two plug-ins:
ML1 - Master Limiter
ML4 - Multi-band Gate, Expander and Compressor powered by ML1 master limiter
The ML1 master limiter uses a flexible brick wall design along with multiple limiter stages for superior peak detection. The unique Knee and Mode controls allow the ML1 to handle any type of material with a variety of responses ranging from transparent to aggressive.
The ML4 Multiband Dynamics Processor includes a 4 Gate bands, Expander (up or down) and Compressor powered by the same limiting algorithm found in the ML1. The Gate, Expander and Compressor of each band can be configured separately or linked together. Steep 24dB / Oct crossover filters minimize signal leakage into adjacent bands. Multiple real-time metering options in each band allow you to quickly view the entire dynamics of the signal.
The ML4 crossover page shows the overall real-time frequency response of the input, output or full dynamic effect, plus graphically adjustable crossover frequencies.
Precise output adjustment is fast and simple with output ceiling control, large meters and level text readouts
The ML4000 delivers excellent results with an intuitive user interface, flexible design and a powerful set of algorithms.

domain
The most common use of ML1 and ML4 is to increase signal levels throughout the mix. The Output Ceiling control sets the maximum signal level and the master Threshold control determines where the signal level starts. Release, knee, and mode controls can configure the subjective sound of the limiter. The multiband dynamics processor can be used to boost or correct the input signal and better prepare it for handling by the master limiter.
EQ
Although there is no EQ section in the ML4 , crossovers and band output gains are the basic controls of a type of graphic equalization. The output levels of each band can be changed and then recombined in the master limiter section. Also note how to use the limiter to set an output ceiling, the 'EQ' levels can be made so as not to overshoot the output levels.
Multi-Band Gating
The Multi-Band Gate in ML4 can be used to remove background noise from instruments next to each other. A good example of this is the typical drum kit. The kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, etc. they are usually microfided separately, but the signal from adjacent drum elements "leak" into each other's tracks. A single-band gate is often used to only "open" a band when the desired drum element signal is actually playing. However, many drum elements have overlapping frequencies, so using a multi-band gate can readily solve many previously uncontrollable problems.
