Software multiband is great if you have a TC Powercore or a UAD1 or something but if its native its not going to have the processing resolution and thats always going to be a pain.
Absolutely...multiband can be useful in the right place, especially on drum tracks, great for adding some extra punch. Software is rarely a better option for compressors...it's cheaper, it just doesn't sound as good, and if you want pro results you're better off getting some proper to master your work rather than running it through a software multiband yourself.
