I have not understood almost anything in my demo of the Mspectraldynamics and I don't grasp the logic of all their functions (it's a pity they have not the same direct interactive functions like Fabfilter !). I made a settings according my poor intuition and I got a big natural sound I don't remember to get with other major plugs ! But I don't know what I've done !
By cons, the Mspectraldynamics induces a big latency and in particular, when I bypass the plug, there is a big offset which is not pleasant.
Has the MautodynamicEq the same latency ?

A friend in Canada has several Melda and is disappointed.... I just bought Fab... after demoing it.  For 362, your crazy not to...TH UI IS FANTASTIC and quality unsurpassed... been wankin' all night! http://www.jrrshop.com/fa...dir=asc&order=name
 
you can always pick up Mspect... later at 50% off....
 
 

Hey Vastman,
On what point he is disappointed ?
From my little poor experience, and I say again I don't understand almost anything concerning the logic of Melda, the Mspectraldynamics seemed to have a more natural big sound...
I have to test the Dynamic eq... and Fabfilter apparently doesn't propose dyn eq.

He felt they introduced distortions and were clugy to use... like me, he found fab more intuitive and exquisitely clean, easy to use with visuals us "artists" can relate to, thus not interfering with the creative process...
 
Down the road I may get MSpectral...and Dynamics during one of their single plug sales but for mastering/tracking tweaking I've gone for the Fabulous deal...can't imagine better and they're a steal right now...
 
YOU don't want to spend your time being confused.... rather than creating music!

Re: FabFilter versus Meldaproduction
 
FabFilter's forte is user interfaces, which are among the cleanest and most intuitive in the industry. Meldaproduction user interfaces are, um, quirky. But resizable.
 
FabFilter is famously easy on CPU resources. Pro-Q on every track is no problem.
Meldaproduction stuff can be much more demanding and some have high latency you cannot get around (but for good reason).
 
For sound-quality, they're both in the same league, although FF is a little more forgiving of user-abuse.
 
In terms of features, Melda has a slight edge. Case in point: MDynamicEQ is functionally equivalent to Pro-MB (despite the name, Pro-MB is actually a dynamic equalizer in its default mode, not a multi-band compressor). Pro-MB is much prettier, but MDynamicEQ actually beats it for ease-of-use -- once you "get" the Melda Way of doing things.
 
Melda stuff demands more attention from the user. My favorite Melda plugin, MSpectralDynamics, will indeed distort if you overdrive the input even a little. You have to watch that and adjust the input slider accordingly. FabFilter plugins just don't do that (except Pro-C, and even then you have to work to make it sound bad).
 
If you're not the type who likes to study and tweak and experiment, FF is going to be more instantly accessible. Ozone and T-Racks, even more so. So for the person who's 90% musician and 10% engineer, I usually recommend Ozone or FabFilter over Meldaproduction. But if you're like me, more of a 50/50 ratio of musician to engineer (or just a control freak), Melda is the ticket.
 
Despite my ongoing G.A.S. problem, at least at the mastering chain I feel I'm completely covered. My master bus will often have only three plugins: MSpectralDynamics -> Ozone -> SPAN. Second-string players Pro-L, Pro-C, Pro-Q, Saturn and MDynamicEQ often come in off the bench in a pinch. Between Ozone and Pro-L I've got the full spectrum of limiter options available from slap-it-on to deep tweaking. Don't need nuttin' else.

Thanks Bit for the infos !
I surely will not explain clearly, but as far as sound is concerned, it seems there is an overall smoother response curve with the Melda (MSpectralDynamics). FabFilter (pro MB) is clearly the winner concerning its ergonomy, but maybe a little less "natural" while being pleasant...
Concerning Ozone, I found that we can go very fast to a sound somewhat aggressive.

Thanks, flipper... good thoughts as always... And, yea... for ease of visualization and can't FIUpedness... so I can concentrate on composing during these rains, seems the sale was ment for MEEEEEE.
I plan on getting MSpectralDynamics next sale per your eloquent writeup for the epub thingy...
but really like tracking with Fab... 
imagine I'll pick up meldas multi track spectrum analyser also, as it seems awesomely primed to reveal spectral clashes amongst tracks I lean towards underpinning songs...
 
Assume both pro C and pro L are on the upgrade path, like pro Q...
Have you looked at Slates FG 116?
