Feature requests/ suggestions: MautoDynamicEQ

[ozonepaul]

I’m very happy with MAutoDynamicEq as it is, but there are 2 functions I miss from my previously used EQs. (Please let me know if these functions are already there in MautoDynamicEQ, and it’s my bad not finding them.)

1. The capability of one band being the dynamic sidechain input source for another band.

2. Stereo placement capability per band. I know that there is a global channel mode selector (Left, Right, Mid, Side etc) but would it be possible to have it per band?
I found a (not really ideal) workaround: whenever I need eg. both stereo and M/S processing on one track, than I use two instances of MautoDynamicEQ. The problem is that sometimes I’m not sure in advance which channel mode processing will give me the best result. So usually I try the processing in Stereo, but than in an ideal world it shouldn’t take longer than one or two clicks to try the same processing eg. only affecting the sides on the given band. Sadly not even the A-H presets selector allows me to do that, as the A-H section (sort of understandably) doesn't save global setting changes.


+ I have been using the Melda free Bundle for ages, and I upgraded to the Complete Bundle more than 2 years ago. I’m using the more advanced features of these plugins more and more and I’ve got some notes about other Melda plugins as well. I really don’t want to be disrespectful, I’m mostly very happy with the capabilities of these plugins. It’s just coming from products from other developers, (on rare occasions ) there are some functions I miss. Is it a good idea to post my remarks, suggestions here on the forum to discuss or these kinds of "feature requests" should be directly sent to Melda/Vojtech?

Anyway, if Vojtech you read this: thanks for these amazing tools

These kinds of unusual cases are what mxxx is for I think. Check it out

On the first one, you can filter the signal that each band receives, which may not be
100% identical to what you're asking for, but in practice it should work.
To see how to do this, watch this video at about 7:00 in....

Thanks.
I'm not saying that "the capability of one band being the dynamic sidechain input source for another band" is a function that I use daily, but often when saving some badly recorded track this function is very useful. It's a one click option in iZotope Neutron and sometimes I go back to Neutron just for this function. (see pick 1, it's basically a drop down where you can select full signal or one of the other bands)
The "stereo placement capability per band" is something I find extremely useful for mastering, again it's one click eg. in Pro Q3 (see pick 2, it's also a drop down)

I'll try to fiddle around with MXXX to come up with something but that's a Melda plugin I haven't used much yet.
Thanks

Thanks. I know this option, yes I could come up with some solution (copy the track, than using that track as the sidechain input and than filter that sidechain signal) but it's cumbersome compared to a one click solution.
(side note: this old CM tutorial series is still the best on MAutoDynamicEQ)
Anyway, thanks again

Yeah, that CM Magazine series convinced me to get MAutodynamic. I can't believe that was
6 years ago!.
Anyway, I thought you could just turn off sidechain for this. I tried that real quick, but it it
didn't seem to work. Maybe I'll test on something else later.
