Version 8.0 released today. As always, the update is free.

ages ago they advertised when you bought everything you got free updates for it all AND the new updates ? just curious if that applied.. They seem responsive when I contacted them in the past, with other questions.. like that in a company.
 
I might wait till christmas one year, as they like doing xmas sales as well.

Yes, all updates and additions are free. It is not limited to the TotalBundle, when plug-ins are added to any bundle owners of that bundle get the new plug-ins for free. Owners of individual plug-ins get updates for free.

Thanks for the update scook
 
The installers had me confused at first because you must tell it to un-install prior to telling it to update. The new install routine was cool that it lets you choose default styles, window and text size. The UI is now somewhat size-able and being able to make fine adjustments using the middle wheel is cool.
 
So far it seems like they did a great job on the updates.

Wow, this is a MAJOR update for these plugins ... I like Melda's stuff, but never really cared for the GUIs.  Welp, this new version redoes all the GUIs and makes it very easy to configure them using various templates.  It's great!  Well done, Vojtech, and thanks for the heads-up, scook!
 
Cheers,
Eddie
 

Thanks scook!

Thanks.  Nice more colorful GUIs, or at least on some of them.

I like Meldas stuff, too. The only downside is many of them are CPU hogs. I've never been able to use the MBHarmonizer, for example. So I've decided I don't look to Meldas direction anymore until I get my PC upgraded, which most likely means "never".

CPU usage is my primary complaint with Meldaproduction stuff, too. That and the sometimes-obtuse UIs. But in terms of bang for the buck, Melda's pretty hard to beat.
 
The free upgrades for life policy means a lot to me, since I bought the Meldaproduction stuff back when I was much more affluent than I am today! I was once a Voxengo fan, but stopped upgrading when it got too expensive to keep up.
 
Now the bad news, at least for me. I installed the version 8 update for MDynamicEQ and it's totally whacked. The plugin takes forever to initialize, comes up with a partial display and is then unresponsive. SONAR then hung when I tried to close the project (a nearly-empty test project).
 
Note that the version 8 install requires you to uninstall your existing Ver. 7 plugins and re-scan your VSTs. Theoretically, this should not impact existing projects because the new version uses the same CLSID and therefore looks like the same plugin to SONAR. Existing settings and automation should be preserved, and you do not have to re-authorize. These points I was able to verify.
 
Unfortunately, the update has broken every project that I've ever used this plugin in. Hopefully, uninstalling and reinstalling version 7 will fix me up. I'll do a little more experimentation first, though.

Try disabling GPU acceleration at the bottom of the Settings menu. GPU acceleration was an issue with earlier beta releases and SONAR which was addressed in an X3 update.
 
While the install procedure recommends removing the old version before installing the new one, it is OK to install over the previous release according to the "Known compatibility issues" section in http://www.meldaproductio...anges/?id=MTotalBundle
