What do you want to see in V16?

[vectorwarrior]

...fwiw...I am using "SoundSource" on the final audio output to achieve just what you are asking about. I have created/saved several different "curves" in MADEq along with MLA and a bunch of other "stuff" in an instance of "SoundSource"...works a treat...hth.../s~

SoundSource is Mac only by the looks of it, which explains why I've never heard of it. Sounds good, but most game audio folks like me are on pc.

Spectral editing

Inspired by spectro by stillwell audio, peel by zplane and Iris 2 by izotope…

I can see Many posibilities for it in the Muniverse

I agree strongly on spectral editing directly on a sonogram, and also on extending the possibility to use TUN (or Scala) tuning files as much as possible in every suitable plug-in.

The possibility to copy, paste, apply, invert and exchange envelopes of single samples from one parameter to another and from one sample to another would really be extremely interesting to me (pitch envelope, amplitude envelope) (please see what I was writing here, for a limited example of this:) viewtopic.php?f=100&t=563207&p=8072086#p8072086

Another (extreme) dream of mine would be an addition in physical modelling in MSF, in the form of some modular thing to build "fantasy", but realistic virtual instruments with control on the shape, size and materials of the exciter, of the body and of the resonators (say: a viola with silk bow strings, acting on instrument golden strings and resonating in a wooden box-shaped body of a given size, amplified by a bell-shaped bronze resonator…), especially for strings and wind (including brass) instruments (not percussion or plucked instruments, those are easier to find and recreate).

Besides… Melda is still lacking a reverb deconvolution software (to try to obtain an IR from a proper reverbed sample) or a reverb "imitation" (like in Accentize Chameleon) and something to remove or reduce reverb in an already reverbed sample, am I wrong?

MConvolution lets you generate test tones and capture responses all within the plugin, not sure if you can load offline sweep responses though. And it's only a broadband pulse, not a full sine sweep for deconvolving,

This is one of those things I'd love to be in a standalone wave file editor, along with batch processing - go out and record a bunch of responses in a standalone app on a laptop, then come back and process them in batches in the same software, but that's just my wish, it's cool if it doesn't happen.

I use voxengo deconvolver for that. Check out out, the demo is not too limited.

Yes, I know it, but it's only for Windows, while I work on Macs. Voxengo Deconvolver is much better than the deconvolution tools built within Logic and I have used it on a Wine Windows emulator, but it's not the most convenient way to work on a Mac. Anyway, I had in mind exactly that kind of thing, yes.

Hehe I actually have a deconvolution plugin built for myself . But I didn't release it, cos it's kinda scientific and stuff... Perhaps make a poll, if lots of people would be intyerested in it, I can perhaps make it more "for normal people"

I am really interested in how stuff looks that you call scientific.

Oh, I don't care, I have scientific studies in my background and I really like scientific stuff, so no problem for me…
Really, but I know this applies only to my case.

The most important thing, in my personal case, is that I would like it to work also on Dirac impulses or (much more approximately, of course) on very short bursts of pink or white noise, not only on sine sweeps. The Apple utility attached to the Space Designer in Logic has this limitation, while Voxengo Deconvolver does not have it: you can deconvolve any file with any other, freely, and I really like this (I like to make experiments).

I'm seriously thinking to start such a poll…

I would like this more than you know, but I wouldn't call myself "normal"

A "deconvolver" to remove "reverberation/delay" would be an amazing tool. I would prefer not "dumbing" it down, the control the better. This is not a trivial problem. I'm familiar with the maths involved, (sigh), and realize the size of the request. I've tried/owned most/all? of the current options and there is way room for improvement/effectiveness...Cheers!.../s~

[Hexspa]

I've been using a headphone monitoring solution. Previously, I was pretty anti-headphones. That said, I feel uncomfortable using my subwoofer in my apartment. Sure, I use it occasionally for short periods but not enough to get the full benefit. A MHeadphoneMonitor might be a welcome addition to the field.

I'm not mentioning any developers but let's say they are REALly helpful when using headPHONES. I'm SEE-IN-A improvement in my bass after using them.

Yeah with COVID and many people working from home, any tools to help people out that aren't in perfect studios would be a big help

I'd still love to see a way to add Melda effects to the computer main output, for reference and comparability testing. You could do killer speaker tuning with Melda stuff, not just eq but also using FreeformPhase to correct speaker phase issues. Melda have so many awesome tools for this sort of thing, with it integrated into the computer output you could do great things.

@VW, if you're on mac look into "SoundSource," works very well for what you describe. I have been using it for quite awhile now to hold a whole bunch of Melda plugins...hth.../s~

Thanks, unfortunately I'm on Windows though. Not many very strong solutions there.

[steve2KVR]

...yup, maybe in/with win11.../s~
