MXXX Core vs Studio One Extended FX Chain

[dmbaer]

So let me ask this.... Would you recommend MXXX Core? Or do you find yourself just loading individual plugins in your DAW instead?

I would absolutely recommend it. It goes on sale for 50 bucks from time to time, so the price isn't painful. Also, save up for the mixing bundle and pick that up for 50% off as well come Black Friday. With that and the creative FX bundle that you already own, there's very little in MXXX that you wouldn't have access to. But even without the mixing bundle, you still have a vast palette to work with.

Early on I got the FreeBungle (paid) now with 37 fx. A real bargain!
Now that I have MSF (a bargain) I am beginning to regret getting MxxxCore.

One reason is that I have so many other good fx which I neglect to use if I use MXXXCore.
And when using the MxxxCore I somehow end up not using the 37 FreeBundel fx. So for me I may be better off using the individual fx and not the MxxxCore. For the added features in MxxxCore I may not be savvy enough to use them in any case.

Keep in mind that I am still a true novice to Melda so there is still a lot for me to absorb. All comments will be appreciates.

BTW in MxxxCore how do I know which fx I own, are they in bold or color text?

Studio One 4.5, Windows 10-64bit

Edit: just visited this thread and saw some videos
Unify by PluginGuru; The next big thing?

Maybe run the Melda plugins in Unify.
Just because I have the MxxxCore does not mean that I have to use it or use it every time. Your thoughts.

Given that you have MXXXcore and McreativeFXbundle (only?):

Well I have a few others too...

-- which plug-ins work fully in MXXX?

Most of the modulation and spectral stuff listed here :https://www.meldaproduction.com/MXXXCore. But sorry I'm too lazy to list them all

-- what does the plug-in selector window look like (are the others greyed out or similar)?

Sadly no difference that would be a great FR

-- what happens if you select one of the others?

It load ok but you get intermitent noise, it is red in the module window

the screenshot is very old, in my MXXXCore it is very different.
i own the MCreativeFXbundle, MSoundFactory, MDrummer, MAutodynamicEQ, and 7 others, and the free bundle (payed). with only the MCreativeFXbunlde you already have enough to play around.
MSpectralDynamics is the only dynamic option, and Compressor. in my case.

it is extremely worth it, although you don't have to use it always, of course.

it newest version, the plugins you don't own are in red, so you can see what you don't own... yes, yes... it is in the latest version, the first time.

and of course MXXXCore, has it's own utilities and modulators. mergers, etc. great stuff.
it framework is also used for MSoundFactory.
