The FabFilter Pro-MB allows for compression of specified frequency bands. I see there are some similar plug-ins for Reason such as the 4Dyne. One could also use parallel processing or home bake the bands using crossover techniques and then compress these bands individually.

But I thought I'd the community here. If you wanted to recreate what the Pro-MB does what strategy would you use?

Using the stereo splitter a few times in a combinator, pick your favorite VST or RE/stock compressor, and your good. I think there may even be multi-band compression presets for the master section.

You can do this in analog too. I’ve got an old Ashley stereo 4-way crossover that I’ve used to good effect on challenging sources.
DAW: Reason 12

SAMPLERS: Akai MPC 2000, E-mu SP1200, E-Mu e5000Ultra, Ensoniq EPS 16+, Akai S950, Maschine

SYNTHS: Mostly classic Polysynths and more modern Monosynths. All are mostly food for my samplers!
