# MultiMaid



## Position in the Maid Audio Lineup



MultiMaid is part of the Maid Audio suite, anchored by FreeEQ8:



- **FreeEQ8** — flagship 8-band parametric EQ (anchors the suite) · [https://github.com/GareBear99/FreeEQ8](https://github.com/GareBear99/FreeEQ8)

- **BassMaid** — low-end enhancement, sub reinforcement, tightening · [https://github.com/GareBear99/BassMaid](https://github.com/GareBear99/BassMaid)

- **SpaceMaid** — depth, width, ambience, spatial design · [https://github.com/GareBear99/SpaceMaid](https://github.com/GareBear99/SpaceMaid)

- **GlueMaid** — mix-bus glue and cohesion · [https://github.com/GareBear99/GlueMaid](https://github.com/GareBear99/GlueMaid)

- **MixMaid** — real-time spectral balance and mix correction · [https://github.com/GareBear99/MixMaid](https://github.com/GareBear99/MixMaid)

- **MultiMaid** — focused multiband dynamics, non-overlapping with the rest · [https://github.com/GareBear99/MultiMaid](https://github.com/GareBear99/MultiMaid) ← *you are here*

- **MeterMaid** — ITU-R BS.1770-4 / EBU R128 mastering + metering suite with an octagonal target radar · [https://github.com/GareBear99/MeterMaid](https://github.com/GareBear99/MeterMaid)

- **ChainMaid** — sidechain ducking, pumping, and trigger routing · [https://github.com/GareBear99/ChainMaid](https://github.com/GareBear99/ChainMaid)



Together, the Maid Audio suite is a complete, practical mixing + mastering toolkit:

FreeEQ8 shapes tone, BassMaid owns the low end, SpaceMaid places sources in space, GlueMaid bonds the bus, MixMaid corrects spectral balance, MultiMaid tames multiband dynamics, MeterMaid verifies the result against broadcast and streaming targets, and ChainMaid routes the dynamic interaction between tracks.



**Control your mix where it matters most.**



MultiMaid is a focused multiband dynamics plugin for the Maid suite. It is intentionally designed to **not** overlap with FreeEQ8, GlueMaid, MixMaid, BassMaid, SpaceMaid, ChainMaid, or MeterMaid.



## Core role



MultiMaid is the **band-dynamics control engine** of the suite.



It answers one question:



> Which frequency regions are out of control, and how do I tame them cleanly?



It is **not**:

- a parametric EQ

- a glue compressor

- an auto-mix assistant

- a bass enhancement tool

- a space tool

- a sidechain interaction tool

- a metering/judgment tool



## Locked ecosystem boundaries



### FreeEQ8

FreeEQ8 shapes tone precisely.



MultiMaid does **not** include:

- bell/shelf nodes

- Q control

- surgical graph editing

- match EQ



### GlueMaid

GlueMaid handles whole-mix cohesion.



MultiMaid does **not** become a single-band bus glue compressor.



### MixMaid

MixMaid is the assistant/corrector.



MultiMaid does **not** auto-fix mixes or run reference-matching workflows.



### BassMaid

BassMaid enhances low-end character.



MultiMaid only controls low-band dynamics.

It does **not** generate sub harmonics or act as a bass sweetener.



### SpaceMaid

SpaceMaid handles width, depth, delay, and reverb.



MultiMaid does **not** touch space processing.



### ChainMaid

ChainMaid handles interaction and ducking.



MultiMaid does **not** lead with external sidechain routing or ducking identity.



### MeterMaid

MeterMaid judges and validates.



MultiMaid only shows action-state metering:

- band energy

- gain reduction

- crossover view



## Product scope



### v1 focus

- 3-band mode

- Linkwitz-Riley style crossover network

- per-band downward compression

- Threshold / Ratio / Attack / Release / Knee / Trim

- Solo / Mute / Bypass per band

- band energy + gain reduction meters

- input / output / dry-wet

- clear crossover visualization



### Pro path later

- 4-band mode

- range control

- optional per-band character/drive

- optional detector modes



## Repo status



This package is a **serious architecture baseline and source-of-truth repo scaffold**.



It is **not yet** honestly production-ready or validated as best-in-class until:

- built in real JUCE targets

- tested in real hosts

- validated for crossover integrity and automation safety

- RT-audited under hostile settings



## Build



```bash

cmake -B build -DJUCE_DIR=/path/to/JUCE

cmake --build build --config Release

```



## File map



- `Source/PluginProcessor.*` — plugin shell, process loop

- `Source/PluginEditor.*` — product UI

- `Source/Core/Parameters.*` — parameter IDs and layout

- `Source/DSP/` — crossover, detectors, compressor, engine

- `Source/UI/` — band module and crossover view scaffolding

- `docs/ROLE_BOUNDARIES.md` — non-conflict rules

- `docs/VALIDATION_PLAN.md` — real release-gate path

- `docs/RELEASE_GATES.md` — must-pass checklist

- `assets/MultiMaid_UI_Demo.html` — HTML source-of-truth visual demo



## Tagline options

- Control your mix where it matters most.

- Clear multiband control without the clutter.

- Tame lows, mids, and highs with confidence.



## Honest status



MultiMaid is currently positioned as a **core suite pillar** between:

- FreeEQ8 → shape

- MultiMaid → control

- GlueMaid → glue



This package gets you to a strong repo baseline fast, without blurring the ecosystem.
