Both plugins (multiband compressor and multiband limiter) are amazing, but there is room for sharing features, either in adding features present in one to the other, or possibly by creating another dynamic processor plugin.

Oversampling: Multiband limiter has oversampling due to limiters often having to respond very quickly. But multiband compressor allows attack/decay times of down to 0.01ms, maybe it would benefit from an oversampling option? I don't know if this is a remotely standard thing in compressor plugins.

Lookahead: Same as above. But also, it would be neat to be able to use lookahead in the compressor even without short attacks/decays. So, instead of the input signal suddenly going up to -2dB, and then softly (gradually) getting reduced by the compressor to -10dB over the course of a second, it would be nice to have the signal fully reduced by 8dB by the time the sudden peak happens, by means of a lookahead.

Per-band threshold: I'm not sure if this translates cleanly from compressor to limiter, but it would be very useful if the limiter had an option to set per-band limits.

One of the things I'm trying to set up is a way to deal with speakers for which the hard limit on bass frequencies needs to be a lot quieter than on treble frequencies. It would be really useful to be able to set a limit of -10dB on a bass band, and -1dB on a treble band.
