multiband dynamics is a mainstay in many mixing toolkits because compression is not always appropriate or necessary across a whole signal - isolating separate bands is a powerful way to control the frequencies that need it & let the others remain natural. so why not other effects as well? I've made five effects racks that take advantage of this same principle for effects that are less trodden but every bit as useful.

below you can read ideas about their use & listen to examples (in each, you'll hear the dry signal, the effect applied to all frequencies, & then the effect applied only to the top or bottom). if you'd rather just try them for yourself, download them all here. just keep in mind you'll need two free vst's as well, this saturator & this chorus. enjoy!
