MDynamicEq and MAutoDynamicEq released with riddiculous introductory prices! - LAST CHANCE!

Aaaaha, the good old upsampling . Well, usually 4x upsampling means more than 4x more CPU . Anyway don't worry, we are getting close to the Mac64.

Just bought it, love the analyzer section... Though when the FFT/sonogram is running it slows down Logic responsiveness a lot. Any plans on future update to improve the performance on that?

Thanks
With the performance - for some reason drawing speed on Mac OS is just slow. There were already several attempts to improve that, but it seems it's just slow. On Windows it works quickly though. Will keep searching. Right now the Mac64 compatibility is almost finished and it brings some additional "advantages" (hopefully), so maybe it will help on its own.

ah ok. Here is me wishing for some magical improvements in near future. I think I'm in love w the analyzer more than the EQ Sonogram and that area strip is absolutely god send!

Quiz: which Image-Line plugin will inspire Melda's next plugin?

Well, that's a bit over-presumptive, don't you think?

Quiz: which Image-Line plugin will inspire Melda's next plugin?

I hope the answer is NewTone. I could use a 64bit version that runs outside FL Studio. I have Melodyne Essential but that's lacking some features compared to NewTone.

I wrote inspire, because it will be multi-band for no real reason, & will come with a dumb acronym for something it claims to be unique.

Yeah and it will be 64bit and runs outside of FLS.

NewTone (well its engine, but also GUI in this case) is ZPlane's baby, maybe they will release a VST.

(not directed at you paterpeter, but just using your post as an example)Because NewTone wasn't inspired on anything else, right?

My point isn't to take jabs at Gol or anything. I like much of what IL does. I just think every dev has things they "copy" from other devs.

You would have a hard time arguing specific plugins from Melda as being "copied" or directly inspired by those from IL.

That would be great.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a (mostly) happy IL customer. But I also like Melda's plugins. They deliver in some areas where IL fails to deliver (and in some other areas it's the other way around for sure), so there's no need for you to be cynical IMO.

To be fair, I believe we had asked Melodyne first for licensing.

I just think every dev has things they "copy" from other devs.

We all do, and I'm not talking about an EQ here, obviously we didn't invent EQs.
I'm talking about the visuals, you know, it's like the store's own brands that tries to copy the packaging of other brands.

I'm talking about those band "casino tokens" especially. Don't they look familiar? But is there any technical reason behind them? No, their look has no purpose, they had no purpose in my EQ, so why copy that? Actually the function they have in mine (band width) doesn't even show there, since he has his own band sizing control, which makes them purely visual.. for what reason do you think?

mmh, GrossBeat?

[koolkeys]

Grossbeat is probably the closest one, and I had that one in mind. But it's one plugin(yes, I know I said "a specific plugin).

The casino token thing, sure it's similar. But outside of a small design decision, not sure how the plugin was inspired by the IL equalizer? I'm talking about the plugin, not a color combination or button. Outside of both being an EQ, and the "knob" being similar, the similarities end, don't they?

And FWIW, both Newtone and Pitcher are "inspired" by other plugins that came before in terms of both interface and function. Still great plugins, but definitely inspired.

Not really, IMHO the best is to take the best of an idea, and to improve what needs to be.
We've been many to make EQs with WYSIWYG editors, featuring spectral analysis in the background, and various band helping labels. That's progress & what has to be copied/take for granted when making a new EQ. But graphical tokens that are just graphic? That's what makes the difference between making things progress & a supermarket brand copy. One makes things evolve, the other is just there to fill a demand of a copy at a lower price.
I don't know, it's like one of the many smartphones on the market vs the usual chinese iphone copy with a lookalike logo.

Besides, it's a little to piss him off a little, and I had fun reading things like "MeldaProduction Adjustable Slope Filter (MASF) technology" & "MeldaProduction Filter Adaption (MFA) technology" repeated all over
I will throw a couple of cheesy acronyms for fun in my next plugin

Well, if any of Melda's plugins were actually direct ripoffs of anything at IL, that would be one thing. In this case, it's a very minor part of the plugin. Functionality-wise, they aren't anywhere close to the same outside of both being EQs, are they?

Don't get me wrong. I agree that the tokens are too similar, but how much does it matter really when the plugin itself is completely different? And your original statement seemed to me to be implying that this was a regular occurrence that he would be "inspired" by IL plugins, when in reality, there isn't much the same.

Well, ImageLine, what a shame, behaving like this... I'm not going to continue with this rather pitiful error by ImageLine and I'll hope you will have some professional courtesy in the future Tony.

Edit: Aaaaha, it's about the token images, seriously? Tony that's just... whatever...
