Description

The Maselec MLA-4 Triband Compressor/Expander is the first and only officially endorsed software recreation of the legendary hardware unit, developed in direct collaboration with Leif Mases.

Designed for mixing, mastering, and stem processing, the MLA-4 delivers natural, musical dynamic shaping with precise multiband control, now enhanced with modern workflow features only possible in software.

• Effortless dynamic shaping without tonal shifts – Auto Spectral Balance preserves mix integrity while managing dynamics.
• Analog warmth and depth, exactly where you want it – Per-Band THD Control lets you add harmonic coloration selectively.
• Confident, precise adjustments without guesswork – Advanced monitoring options provide per-band solo, left/right cuts, and independent channel monitoring for total control.

Whether refining a final master, shaping a mix bus, or restoring dynamics in a crushed stem, the MLA-4 delivers the depth and musicality of a revered analog mastering tool—meticulously recreated in plug-in form.

Dynamic Control That Works With Your Mix – Not Against It

For mixing and mastering engineers who need precise dynamic control without compromising mix integrity, most multiband compressors create more issues than they solve, often introducing phase distortion, transient smearing, and tonal imbalance.

High-end analog mastering tools set the standard for depth and cohesion, while most digital multiband solutions fail to capture the nuance and responsiveness professionals demand.

With the Maselec MLA-4 you get the best of both worlds, so you can:

• Control low-end dynamics without losing impact.
• Enhance midrange clarity without adding harshness.
• Restore lost transients and depth without unintentional pumping.

With surgical yet expressive control, the Maselec MLA-4 ensures that every adjustment serves the music first – without second-guessing settings, battling artifacts, or fighting against the processor itself.

Features

• Achieve Competitive Loudness Without Crushing Your Mix – Push your levels confidently with precise dynamic control that prevents limiter distortion and retains musicality.
• Expand and Compress Simultaneously for Natural Movement – Shape transients in a way that feels fluid and musical, preserving the life of a performance.
• Control Bass Without Dulling Highs –Tame low-end boom while keeping top-end air intact, ensuring balance without sacrificing clarity.
• Recover Dynamics Without Artifacts – Restore punch and energy in over-compressed mixes without introducing unwanted pumping or distortion.
• Keep Your Mix Intact with Phase-Coherent Processing – Unlike conventional multiband designs, the MLA-4 maintains mix integrity without unwanted tonal shifts or phase distortion.
