WMD Bus Rider Stereo Multiband EQ + Dynamics Processor

Bus Rider is a stereo multiband EQ/dynamics processor + lookahead limiter designed for on the fly mastering at the end of your signal chain. It's also useful for submix and individual channel processing. The Isolator EQ is a great performance tool beyond fitting your mix to the room.

EQ, multiband compression, and limiting, all in one module

At the top of the module, a three way toggle switch lets you choose between pages of controls. The SHIFT button gives access to secondary functions, allowing you to change the "set and forget" set of features with ease.

ISO: The left position gives you control of 3 band isolator eq with +12dB boost and total cut (-∞) for each band. The shift functions let you change the low and high band crossover points.

DYN: The center position enables the interface for the multiband compressor with controls for threshold and ratio on each band.

LIMIT: With the switch to the right, the interface is in control over a lookahead limiter with controls for input gain, ceiling, release time, and saturation.

Compact interface with thoughtful design

Bus Rider has an intuitive layout and interface. The LEDs will match the color of the labels on the panel, reminding you which set of controls you are currently using. The LED bar on the right acts as an overall VU meter, showing gain reduction in the limiter section, and switches to display the value of whichever knob is currently being turned.

All sections of the module are active at all times, each can be made inactive by setting the knobs appropriately. The entire module can be bypassed with the I/O button. The module's audio signal path begins at the crossovers, then runs through the multiband compressor, eq, and is recombined before going into the lookahead limiter.
