Just sayin...
Fair enough, but I don't know why it's tricky to dynamically load a DLL from somewhere.... C:\Program Files\Common Files is the perfect place for that, because that is exactly what that folder was designed for, and is, of course, completely supported by Windows in its API calls. Stick your DLLs in a known folder name ("Melda" perhaps) in Common Files and, voila, you know where they are no matter whatever is trying to load them. No need to put anything in the registry. Sorry, I'm not trying to have an argument or anything, just curious really.
A bit fried in the higher freqs

Because then you need to dynamically map all calls ;). Now if you have a single call "make plugin", then it's simple, but as usual the reality is a bit more obscure :D

I can't install 12.11 on Mac High Sierra. It won't allow the app file to open, even after using the Terminal hack to set Gatekeeper to "Anywhere".

Just checked both mirrors on OSX HS, no problems. Please redownload the file and if it won't work, use the contact form, Luke will help you with that.

I hear you! :)

Yet I can't agree. What about DAWs, which are portable on a stick?

Instead of using I-Phone or Smartphone-solutions more and more young(!)
and new(!) producers use portable versions of their DAWs. "Portable"
means that the DAW and all plugins are on a stick - and ONLY on that
stick. So they just took the stick - and they can work on their music
anywhere - at any friend's PC - anywhere in the world. Here your solution
wouldn't work at all.

Why not just make a subfolder - and put all presets and skins into that
subfolder. This subfolder is exactly there, where the dll is put.

This has two advantages: It's easy and transparent! Instead of polluting
the OS-disc you have all files together at one location. And secondly it
is portable. :phones:

With a spectral multiband? With sorting the signals into transients and tonal? Tell me what DAW you're using then cause I'm considering swithing. :D

Haha! Maybe DPhil is the one asking me for a Melda DAW and he came from future, where we actually made it :D :D

I'm very sorry your daw doesn't seem to have an eq which we can use to decide which parts of which signal should be how present when mixing them. No need to do fancy multiband stuff :lol: And putting something like a transient designer on a signal to leave the transient or tonal part doesn't seem to be weird either. :D

But some need a plugin for everything...

:D DPhil, you are an oldschooler ;). No problem ;)

I use Reaper on a portable usb install and sadly Melda cant make it on it I wish it would. I love installers like U-HE or KV331 it will let you decide where the data folder goes so I can have my favorite synths on my portable DAW. When I update the installers remember the path so well done and a breeze to use.

I hear you! :)

Just noticed 267mb in C:\ProgramData\MeldaProduction, just saying. Never noticed it before.
Currently trying to turn noise into music. :neutral: Is boutique the new old?
