First you would need know what order Butterworth filter you are after as well as what the corner frequency is. It's a bit of a complex equation but basically the higher the order the steeper the curve...

The most effective use of MBC I have found is applying it to the low end... by compressing just lows (say under 100Hz) you can really control those big low frequencies which will allow you to boost them to a point that really adds a sense of power to your masters. Of course you may need to balance a...
