As I don't have time to maintain or develop the "mda" freeware plug-ins any more, but I don't want them to die when 32-bit VST 2.x plug-ins are finally obsolete, I have released the source code:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mda-vst/

If anyone wants to find and fix bugs, or tidy up the sources into a more generic future-proof format, that would be great. If not, the code is all there and working so for example it would be easy to build 64-bit versions.

It might also be interesting to see how the plug-ins work - maybe they are simpler than you'd expect, as back when these were written every additional line of code had an effect on the CPU meter!

whoa, thanksssssssssssssss

Great news! If someone would do a AU version of SpecMeter, he can expect a donation from me.

wow. very good of you...

These are probably going to become a popular resource for answering many 'how do I...' style questions; great help for the community

wow - thx Mr K! I'll have a butchers!!

WOW!

Great, thanks!

Question - under license it says both GPL and MIT. What are the exact terms? (I have a feeling this question could be answered if I'd just look around, but ... I'm at work, and my code just finished compiling, ... )

Cool stuff. I think the limiter was mentioned in the newest Sound on sound in an article where a guy mixed a live recording. Maybe people will learn DSP coding from these.

BTW I don't think anything's going to die. VST 3 has got a very poor reception and I wouldn't be surprised if 2.4 would stay as the standard.

As far as I understand it (which is not very far) the MIT license lets you do anything you want, including commercial use. The GPL license is there so that distribution with other purely-GPL software is not ruled out.

Wow, fantastic news! Thank you.

I have one request though, could you import the sourcecode into the SourceForge provided CVS please? (or SVN if that's your thing). It's a lot easier to deal with a source-code repository than it is with a zip file for a lot of coders.

Anyway, thanks again.

very generous indeed, sir!

Peace out

Wow! Thanks a lot Mr. Paul

============================

Are there any way to convert the codes to delphi?

Best regards,

Wonderful news; thanks for your generosity and vision mda

alas, only by sitting down and writing it! Having already had a pretty good look through, most of the algorithms are fairly straight forward (if you have some sense of what you are looking at). The best conversion would be more a case of applying the sense of the code, rather than a line by line transcription.

This is awesome man, thank you.
