GMulti is a free multiband comp by GVST. Like ReaXComp, this is an old plugin, but it still gets the job done. Despite its age, GMulti supports Windows and macOS and works without issues in the latest OS versions. The plugin offers three compression bands with compression, stereo width, and level controls for each band. GMulti also features a real-time waveform display that shows the difference between the dry and compressed signals.
Each band has a separate GUI panel, making the interface less cluttered but also a bit slower to navigate.
