MSpectralDynamics, spectral dynamic processor & free-form linear phase equalizer
MSpectralDynamics spectral mastering dynamics processor plug-in is a true mastering revolution. It can do many things, but it's main feature serves as an ultramodern hi-tech replacement for multiband compressors and loudness maximizers. With top-class features such as custom shape processing it can provide you with a varied and wide range of effects. Additionally, it provides you with a free-form linear phase equalizer with a range from -80dB to 0dB; which you can use to fix specific issues in your recordings and mixes.

This is a well-considered integration of different technologies that can do things most other plugins only dream of!
Multiband compressors are a very important tool required to balance the spectrum and maximize loudness. However multiband compressors are very clumsy, their effects are often too unnatural and it is very easy to completely destroy the audio material.
MSpectralDynamics on the other hand does not have any bands and works with the entire spectrum instead. It approximates energy located in each frequency and applies the dynamics to it separately. This algorithm is extremely complicated but provides state-of-the-art sound quality and features you could not even dream of before!
You can perform spectral compression to balance the spectral energy and increase loudness with minimal amount of artefacts. You can apply spectral expansion to excite frequencies and increase sound clarity. And this is just the beginning...
The package also contains MSpectralDynamicsMini, a simplified version of MSpectralDynamics created for those, who do not have the luxury of high-resolution display. Its GUI is much smaller and it contains only necessary features.

This is one of my favorites. It is similar to a multiband compressor, but there are no bands to set. Very cool. This works well to help tame problem frequencies in the mix. It is really easy and fun to use, once you understand what it does. It provides excellent visual feedback with how you are affecting the sound.
- True spectral dynamic processing - other compressors perform dynamic processing in the time-domain, MSpectralDynamics performs the same actions in frequency domain, where you can increase loudness, balance frequencies etc... There is no way to perform such actions with similar sound quality and features.
- Free-form equalizer - a complementary feature of MSpectralDynamics is a free-form linear-phase equalizer with range from -80dB to 0dB editable using MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES).
- Power spectrum analyzer - integrated spectrum analyzer gives you accurate view of input and output spectral dynamic profile, gain reduction per frequency and free-form equalizer.
- 2 independent compressor/expander units with ratios from 1:4 to 20:1 and infinity, adjustable range and knee.
- Advanced gate unit with adjustable size and knee.
- Custom processing shape - by enabling this feature MSpectralDynamics immediately inherits original processing envelope and you can modify it using our MeldaProduction envelope system (MES) technology, that lets you easily create any dynamic processing shape you like.
- Extremely advanced and easy-to-use user interface - our products are always workflow enhanced. You can easily change all values and gain maximal accuracy using textual editing. Smooth visualization of resulting response with almost unlimited zooming...
- MIDI controllers with MIDI learn - you can map any parameter to any MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard and control it realtime or record and automate it.
- Resolution, smoothness, slope, threshold shape - spectral detector provides advanced features defining how MSpectralDynamics analyzes and processes sound with various resulting time and spectral response.
- Advanced dynamic detector featuring manual and 4 automatic modes with adjustable limits and speed. Besides standard attack and release parameters MSpectralDynamics provides peak/RMS settings and peak hold feature.
- Actual source level indication inside the shape graph - you always know, what dynamic value you can actually expect on the input and output, and what gain-reduction MSpectralDynamics performs.
- Adjustable up-sampling 1x-4x to minimize aliasing and get even more clear sound.
- 3 signal shaping modes, dry/wet control and other supportive parameters that ease your workflow with MSpectralDynamics.
- Global preset management - using a title button you can save your settings, which are shared on the computer, so you can easily access them in other songs.
- Full automation (except custom shapes).

With particular problematic sound sources it can be the only tool which will save a day.
