The King 2 by W.A. Production is a five-band multiband compressor designed to shape dynamics and bring clarity to your masters. Separate threshold and makeup gain controls for each band let you balance lows, mids and highs without treating the whole mix equally. Upward and downward compression controls offer further dynamic shaping, while a shared Time knob adjusts their attack and release behaviour. Use the Mix knob to blend processed and dry signals for parallel compression, keeping some of the original movement alongside a more controlled sound. A built-in limiter helps contain peaks, and Magic EQ provides three curves aimed at reducing muddiness and refining tonal balance. Suited to hobby producers who want focused mastering controls in one effect, The King 2 also works on individual audio tracks and instrument outputs.
