Shill!!!!! (joke) Does this mean your ardour for anything FabFilter has cooled?
I know you're kidding, but I do worry about being perceived as a shill for Melda and will back away from them after the September issue - and shill for somebody else for awhile ;) But my enthusiasm for the product line is genuine.
Still a big fan of Fabfilter. Much prettier than the Meldaproduction stuff, and easier to grasp. But FF is pricey, which is what led me to investigate less-expensive alternatives in the first place, and then to make the happy discovery that such alternatives do exist.
I still love Pro-Q, but it's no longer the one I reach for first - MDynamicEQ is now my first-call equalizer. Pro-MB is a marvel of ergonomic design and very powerful, but MDynamicEQ usually takes precedence over that one, too. That's
two FF products replaced by a
single Melda plugin that recently went on sale for
1/10 the price of the FF ones.
I haven't tried MModernCompressor (currently on sale for $32!) yet, but I have a feeling it could conceivably dethrone the venerable Pro-C as my default go-to compressor.
