Perhaps not quite as nice as Waves, but izotope’s Ozone has a multiband compressor – this is actually designed as a mastering plugin, but it runs as RTAS…

@Doug : There are a several software developers that make RTAS multipressors that can be used in Protools. Unfortunately I was unable to find any cheap or free ones, although that is not to say they aren’t out there somewhere. Some of the paid options are:

PSP Vintage Warmer
(http://www.proaudiosolutions.com/product-p/psp-vintagewarmer.htm)

Waves Multimaximizer series
(http://www.waves.com/content.aspx?id=91)

UAD Precision Multiband Compressor (http://www.uaudio.com/products/software/precmulti/index.html)

None of those options are cheap, but I’ve used the UAD and Waves plugins and they sounded quite good. They do tend to add their own specific “colour” to the output, but that’s part of their selling point.

i’ve used this in logic and it is very useful – do you know of anything similar in protools RTAS?
