Show your Melda mastering setups?

[Starship Krupa]

If you put a Melda EQ in M+S mode, you can choose for each node if it affects Mid, Side, or Mid+Side (right click the node to get the advanced options).

Other T-Racks units have it so that within one instance, when they're unlinked you switch back and forth between identical Mid and Side (or left and right) screens, and that works pretty well, too and saves some real estate.

That sounds very similar to the Mid/Side and Panorama crossovers in MB plugins.

I'm not trying to convince you to use more Melda plugins, but your previous post sounded like you were interested in using them on your mastering chain, so I showed you an option of how to do it. But yeah, you're going to have to invest some time to take full advantage of Melda, and if that investment doesn't seem worth it, there's nothing wrong with sticking to what you know.

We're in the Meldaproduction forum, so it's expected and welcome to point out how something can be done with the host's products. Thanks for the tip on the EQ nodes! This may be an addition to my bag of M/S tricks.

I just don't yet feel comfortable with the MB interface paradigm. I do have Unfiltered Audio TRIAD, which is the MB version of their BYOME, which I really like. I got my feet wet messing around with its MB features, which are similar to the way Meldaproduction presents it.

Actually, the first time I was exposed to the things you can do with M/S processing was in the Meldaproduction documentation, Vojtech's explanation of how to apply it is excellent. It didn't really stick until I got the T-Racks 670 and set it to a stereo enhancement preset. That's when the lightbulb went off and it started to make sense. I love the effect that compressing the mid more than the side can have. Either by threshold, ratio, or release time.

Sometimes the deep dive into a Meldaproduction effect is worth it; I get faster results with MRhythmizer than I do with Stutter Edit 2, which requires its own deep diving to get a handle on. I took a Producertech course on Stutter Edit and applied that learning to MRhythmizer Sometimes (as in this case), I have other excellent tools that slot right in with all the controls front-facing.

It's funny you mention MRhythmizer because that's one of the cases where I chose to go with another plugin instead because I'm much more comfortable with the Shaperbox UI

You need to pop-out the order module, so you get a console, where you can easily add other plugins and change the order of the tools. I admit I use normally Ozone 9 for mastering, as I do not have that much time to develope my mastering skills. But if you know Ozone, then you will recognize the similarities between it and my approach to use the order module.

Let me know, if this was useful for you.

I'm sitting here contemplating getting the complete bundle as it's 50% off ( Black Friday prices ) and contains MXXX. I have 78 melda plugins already, and besides MXXX there are only another 7 plugins in the complete bundle that I'd use.
The reason I'm interested is the possibility of having a mastering setup within MXXX. That really appeals to me as I was using Ozone and they dumped the standalone version in Ozone 10 advanced, and I can't use their VST3 on 2 different PCs in 2 different DAWs, because of a 5 second visual lag. I got a refund on Ozone, and I'm considering other ways of building a nice mastering chain.
I have most of what would be in a typical chain without buying MXXX as well, but it would be nice to just save the chain as a preset and recall it as needed.
Would it be possible to import this preset into MXXX core as well ?
