Using Multiband Compression When Mastering Episodes

A bit of multiband compression in the mastering step does a great job of “gluing” your mix together — evening out the dynamics of various speakers, taming various frequency ranges when they get too loud, increasing apparent loudness, slightly reigning in the last remaining bit of harsh sibilance, etc.

I really like the Fabfilter Pro-MB and the multiband compressor in iZotope Ozone 9.

Do you use a multiband compressor in your mastering step?
