... just sayin'

And MMultiAnalyzer, too ($36). Two of my three favorite Melda plugins on sale!
 
MModernCompressor is also very good, if anybody actually needs one more compressor.
 

Thanks, I've been waiting for this one and just bought it.

Yup, gave it a work out last night.
 
Initial impressions are higher than expected.

I just installed and played with it for about 15 minutes and it sounds very good, more transparent than DSM. But it's a lot more complicated than DSM and I'll have to read the docs and reread bitfilipper's review a few times to try to get the hang of it.

Me Two.

I tried to understand the tools of this plugin via the You Tube videos; that seems interesting but even if the GUI is still fun, there are a lot of functions (like, it is said, a "gas plant") ! But it seems that most of their main plugins recover similar functions in particular analyser and side chaining. In what, for instance the Melda compressors  are "different" from other compressor besides the many possibilities they can offer in a same plugin ? Is the sound more defined, more mastered ... ? I ask that because Dstrenz made a comparison with DSM which was considered as the holy grail concerning mixing or mastering treatment (maybe too much hype).
Now, it's coming the idea that Equalizers and in particular dynamic equalizers are more important than compressors : The Melda dynamic Eq seems to be very intersting...

DSM is the closest thing I know of to MSpectralDynamics. The two are equivalent only conceptually, though. (Also, DSM is more expensive at $329.)
 
To picture what MSpectralDynamics does, imagine a dynamic equalizer with hundreds of bands, configured to describe a specified overall spectral shape. Great for mastering. But it doesn't end there...
 
Now imagine that you can route a sidechain signal to the analyzer portion to spectrally compress one signal based on another, but only effect those frequencies that are contained in the sidechain. That lets you carve a spectral hole in one track or bus that perfectly fits the needs of another track or bus. You now have the ultimate anti-masking tool.
 
If you a) don't do your own mastering, and/or b) you have no idea what spectral masking is, then save your money, just get Sausage Fattener and have fun. (Just kidding, peter434. Spend the money on MDynamicEQ instead, next time it goes on sale for $43.)

Thanks a lot Bitflipper for the precisions !
In fact I have DSM purchased at a very discounted price (and Sausage Fattener too) but the fact is I don't use it a lot because of the lack of more explicit controls and graphic informations ! I find DSM a little too "mystic" and it appears that in some of my mixes, even with very moderate settings, it was still  a bit "agressive"  (maybe it's me and my mixing skills are limited but I  scrupulously listen , compare with reference mix, and listen again and again until getting a certain balance that I think is fair).
The analyzer, the specified spectral shaping, the sidechaining function adressed in specific frequency areas, and the great anti-masking tool you mentioned make this plug very attractive and make me get the demo and still spend time to see if I'm able to use it correctly ! I've already the little Nomad Factory Track spacer plug, but maybe there is like a lack of precision in the treatment...
Just a subsidiary question : MSpectralDynamics seems to be complete and finally can cover main functions of MDynamicEQ ?

MSpectralDynamics and MDynamicEQ are quite different from one another. They complement each other nicely, though. I'd recommend both of them.
 
And yes, the analogy to TrackSpacer isn't wrong (I think you meant to say "Wavesfactory" rather than "Nomad Factory"). TrackSpacer does a similar spectral-ducking trick. There's also Elevayta's Space Boy that does the same thing (and it's cheap, just $29). But both of these are one-trick ponies compared to MSpectralDynamics, which does a lot of other things, too.
