Nuke Multiband
Three Bands. One Feedback Core. Brings Nuke Mk1's compression engine to three fully independent bands, for signal that's meant to get pushed hard rather than gently tamed.

Overview
Nuke Multiband brings the precision compression engine of Nuke Mk1 to three fully independent bands, with the same detector behavior and musical character, for engineers who need complete control across the low end, midrange and top without compromising musicality. Each band runs its own full compressor: Input, Ratio, Attack, Release, Output and Colour, plus a Solo switch for auditioning.
A dual-point crossover (Low/High) splits the signal with a soft, analog-inspired curve, and a single shared Soft Clip / Limiter stage (the THD Valve) sits at the very end of the chain, coloring and taming the combined output as one unified signature stage. Real-time THD metering and high-resolution gain-reduction metering per band keep every decision visible, and the whole engine runs oversampled for fidelity.
Inside the plugin
Three bands, one valve stage.
3-band independent compression
Full per-band Input, Ratio, Attack, Release, Output and Solo control.
Dual-point analog crossover
A soft, analog-inspired Low/High split feeding each band.
Shared Soft Clip / Limiter
The THD Valve stage colors and tames the combined output as one signature stage.
Real-time THD & GR metering
High-resolution gain-reduction metering per band, plus live THD readout.
Oversampling
Runs oversampled internally for maximum audio fidelity.
Questions
FAQ
Is Nuke Multiband a compressor or a saturator?
Both. Each of its three bands combines compression with a Colour control and feeds a shared tube THD Valve stage, so it works as a multiband compressor and a saturation tool at once.
How is Nuke Multiband different from Mext?
They're related: Mext (Multiband Extended) adds per-band spectrum overlays, Q and Shape controls and sidechain on top of the same three-band, THD-Valve foundation used in Nuke Multiband.
How does licensing and activation work?
Gumroad generates your license key automatically at checkout. Activate it from inside the plugin through license.sidekey.fr, on up to two machines per license.
Built to be pushed.
Three bands of compression and one tube valve stage, ready for drums, busses and anything that needs bite.
