MStereoProcessor is an absolutely ingenious tool but has anyone thought that more bands would make it much better? For some tasks I'll have 2 or 3 instances right after another just because there's not enough bands and it gets challenging pinpointing specific frequencies to affect.
More bands in every Melda Plugin would actually be nice.
Just thought I'd post this so Melda knows that at least 1 person wants it.
MStereoProcessor Suggestion: Add more bands!

Hmm I might have to look into that, I hope MXXXcore goes on sale.
Why wouldn't the standalone MStereoProcessor be able to be updated to have 32 bands if MXX can do it?

How do you use so much bands? Isn't that overkill?

No.
I use it for mix restoration and mastering as well as using it to narrow samples for Ambisonic/Binaural use so it's also more of a sound shaping tool for me. If I were to widen a guitar in a stereo mix I'd need to use a few instances just because if you want to affect only specific frequencies in the middle of the spectrum you'd be limited to 2 bands, the 1st and 4th just being spacers. If it was at least 6 I'd be sorta happy to stop that particular issue and I could widen just the mids with more control. Then on top of that maybe the cymbals are too far out, you'd need another instance of Mstereoprocessor. Another instance to center that kick drum... Maybe the bass is flubby because it's all over the place too and needs some focusing.
It adds up pretty quick.
I should actually mention, I have used it within RX7 using the selection tool in some situations to help pinpoint the processing so it doesn't do anything to lows and highs so I still get 4 bands sorta centered in the mid spectrum. I don't know if that's the best way to do it but that's just how I've figured a way to do it. Obviously the best way would be for 2 null bands on the low and high end to be implemented into the plugin as that's pretty much what doing it within RX accomplishes.

Have you ever noticed any phase artifacts from crossovers?

Sometimes, the benefit usually outweighs the issues though.
