The King 2 Black Friday deal puts 60% off W. A. Production's 5-band multiband compressor plugin, bringing it to $39.60 until Nov 29, 2026.
It's a dynamically enhanced multiband compression plugin built for mastering. Instead of the usual three bands, you get five, each with its own controls.
The five bands are Low, Low Mid, Mid, High Mid and High. Every band has its own Threshold knob and its own Makeup gain knob, so you can shape each region of the mix separately.
The maker says this gives a clear, professional sound that works for the producer and the listener.
Compression comes in two flavours, each on its own knob: Upward and Downward. Both default to 100 and run from 0 to 200. A Time knob sets the attack and release of both.
The Mix knob lets you flip between the effected signal and the dry mix to hear how much processing is happening. Set it to 30% and it works as a parallel compressor.
The built-in limiter keeps a master track, audio file or MIDI instrument from passing 0dB, so you don't need a third-party limiter on the chain. The maker pitches this as one less plugin eating CPU.
Magic EQ can be applied to anything The King 2 is processing: a master bus, a single audio file or a MIDI instrument. Its three curves are made mainly for cleaning.
The first curve targets muddy frequencies. The second and third are meant mainly for master tracks, cleaning many elements at once while lifting what's left, so bright tones come out crisper.
Input Gain sets how hard the signal hits the plugin, and Output Gain sets how much comes back out into the mix. That's your gain stage on both sides of the compression.
The King 2 runs on Windows 8 or higher (32 and 64-bit) and macOS 10.13 and later (64-bit only). The AAX format needs Pro Tools 11 or higher.
If you're on a Mac with Apple Silicon, the maker asks you to review the plugin's current compatibility status for your system before buying.
Yes. The King 2 Black Friday deal is 60% off, which brings this W. A. Production multiband compressor plugin to $39.60. The offer runs until Nov 29, 2026.
It has five bands, each with Threshold and Makeup gain knobs. Add Upward and Downward Compression knobs, a Time knob, Input and Output Gain, a Mix knob, Magic EQ with three curves, a built-in limiter and a resizable interface.
It supports Windows 8 or higher in 32 and 64-bit, and macOS 10.13 and later in 64-bit only. The AAX format needs Pro Tools 11 or higher. Apple Silicon Mac users should check the compatibility status first.
Yes. The Mix knob blends the processed signal with the dry one, and adding 30% of the effected sound gives you parallel compression. You can also use the knob to compare the effect against the dry mix.
