How to Use a Multiband Compressor to Remove Plosives

How to use a multiband compressor to remove plosives?

1. Simply use one band from 0 Hz up to around 110 Hz. Sometimes you’ll have to go a bit higher (140-150 Hz) or not as high (80-90 Hz) depending on the frequency range of the plosives themselves.
2. Use a high threshold so that only the plosives are compressed.
3. Use a high ratio to push down the plosives considerably when the compressor does catch them.

Voilà.
