Just learned about the free Melda Plugins

[deeplink]

And I'm pretty impressed. Some great effects, utilities and visualizers there - and not a cent was spent!

Edit: I should probably paste a link in case people don't know what I am referring to https://www.meldaproduction.com/MFreeFXBundle

Congrats. Mmanalyser is my melda plugin of choice.

Yep they're great. Ring modulator is amazing, also spectral delay

Isn't this VST ? so there is where it should be posted if I'm not mistaken

[WOO]

Thanks i just downloaded. If its free its for me!

A lot of stuff here for sure, question is - as always - whether these actually render better methods or better sounds / results than the ultra-fantastic base platforms Reason & Logic Pro X really are.

I think my "general platform" for any should-i-get-this decisions are;

• that I generally prefer the normal GUIs and design choices audio-wise - they might look plain on surface but as I know exactly what everything does I get maximum productivity.

• and I'm certainly not a plugin "hoarder". For a number of reasons.

• I prefer being able to work on all my old dinosaur macs (two runs the latest versions) and my cheapo PC without worrying about having to install loads of sugar & spice on top of Reason & my banks - and even having to repeat that process should I move the project to another machine.

I have Omnisphere & Korgs Legacy & Kontakt and some other stuff but often I think installing these things are painfully un-intuitive. If Reason had a synchronize feature which would remember what my account should contain & fetch that from all vendors - refills VSTs and AUs and what not - gosh it'd save me so much time.

To be honest a fresh install of Reason on a new computer and inspiration & coffee - that's a top user experience really. As soon something is missing here or there inspiration falls like a stone to the ground. "Omnisphere is not installed correctly", that's such a bummer.

Sorry for hovering out on a general VST rant - but fill your drives - if it inspires you.

I found this useful re Melda's freebies:

Many in the pack I don't use, but the few that I DO, are priceless to me. My fav is the MConvolutionEZ; comes with many IRs, but esp. a set of unique "Special" ones that turn it into something like the Audiomatic Retro Transformer except it's not a degrader, more like a huge collection of instant-On Spectral EQ presets. Refreshes any new or already great fav sound in endless ways. I sprang instantly for the $58 upgrade when it was on sale just so I could resize the guis and set custom directories; best $29 I've spent in many a long year.

When was it on sale last? Is it a regular thing?

I think it comes around regularly maybe once a year in the weekly revolving 50% Madness sale, but there's also at least one everything-50% sale annually, usually at BFriday; dev confirms this for this year, here:

That's when I got it last year.
