2CAudio Presedence

[Svama]

Sorry for that, it´s just another none Meldaproduction product, but it sounds nice in theory, didn´t try it so far.

What do you think about it? Is it a steep before Meldas MTurboReverb or nothing new to the table.
Will check it for my own. Maybe Vojetch is also interested in this?

Thanks and greets,

First try against Melda MStereoSpread on a Vocal just for stereo spreading. Precedence sounds natural, Melda sounds weird.

[Svama]

I could setup Presedence and Breeze 2.1 fastly. I´ve set Instruments at different position in different rooms and tried to reach a similiar sound with Melda MTurboReverb, but didin´t get it there. Maybe somoene else will try it.

[MeldaProduction]

It has nothing to do with MStereoSpread or MTurboReverb. It probably just pans + eqs + hrtfs/irs... I tried it and besides the fact that it crackles like hell whenever I changed anything (probably grid of IRs which they failed to interpolate), it doesn't sound interesting to me at all. Sure their website is full of superlatives and whatever, as usual with 2AC, but the reality is... ehm... And there's this:

Breeze 2 was the first pro-audio software product of any kind to offer AVX-512 optimization. We beleive Precedence is the second. These two remain the only audio software on the market to support AVX-512 so far that we are aware of. Performance on machines that support it, such as Apple's iMac Pro, and systems built around Intel's Skylake-X, Xeon-W, or Xeon-SP CPUs is simply incredible.

Seriously? First, so they checked EVERY software out there? Btw. we have AVX512 optimizations for quite some time, so they are literally lying. And I hate lyers. Considering the fact that I never liked the sound of their software, I just have no respect for 2AC, sorry... To me it is just overpriced stuff saying how awesome it is, which unfortunately works well enough for many...

...how hypocritical to hear that from Melda

[MeldaProduction]

Name a lie

[dmbaer]

just pans + eqs + hrtfs/irs

hrtfs/irs? What does "hrtfs" stand for?

[MeldaProduction]

Sorry, HRTFs

[DocSnyder]

Name a lie

Starting with the story of MLimiter which wasn't one. Or the MSpectralDelay marketing bla story which even got criticized by your community.

"MSpectralDynamics is a true revolution in audio processing.", "MRhythmizer, a unique time manipulation effect.", "MDrumLeveler is a unique tool" but only if you don't consider the plugins that were already there...

Everytime your website states "Extremely easy to use." or "...is the ultimate...".

[MeldaProduction]

That's marketing, not lies . Who are you to say something is or isn't unique? If you think you are, then you certainly know about plugin, that does all our plugin does, right?
In comparison saying that your plugin "is the first plugin on the market using AVX512" is a techical metric that can be verified wrong (and is wrong) and can NOT ever be true, which makes it a lie.

Edit: Btw. MLimiter was a limiter, just without attack/release circuit. It was limiting. And I'm not sure what you are talking about when it comes to MSpectralDelay.

[Svama]

Keep cool. This should not end in verbal assaults. It’s a big fighted market, but there is place for all of you and your products. People are crazy today. Peace

I asked about something similar before. I positioning plugin and Vojtech said it was planned for the mixing revolution. I hope it is still planned. I'm excited about it, but with MSF coming I almost forgot about it.

[MeldaProduction]

I actually already have it , and it's way more brutal than this 2ac thingy, but I decided not to release it yet and wait for the big thing. We have too many plugins

[mike_the_ranger]

These topics are always fun to read Someone found a plugin, compared it to Meldaproduction plugins and decided it does something better. Vojtech tried the plugin and it is of course as always the worst he's ever seen. Suddenly Meldaproduction claims to have such a tool since forever which can do many more and is the ultimate unique best sounding tool. Yet to prove but nothing happens XD I don't know why his ego has to derail so often or feels so challenged

Anyways I tried Presedence. I like it and can't confirm the crackling thingy bug. But I wouldn't use it often either because it can't replacing good basic mixing strategies.
