Melda MTurboComp - Melda Productions

Product Description

MTurboComp is the ultimate (not-only) compressor, which emulates most of the classic vintage analog compressors. Unbelievable sound, uniquely fast workflow, tons of additional features. And you can design your own super-compressors with it!

A multiband version MTurboCompMB is now included!

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you'd somehow create a multiband setup with different vintage compressors on each band? Probably not, because that would be super-expensive. But now it is a few clicks away!

And how about processing transients with one vintage compressor and the rest of the signal with another one? Well, that's also possible and that's far from the end...

Compression reinvented for easier and faster workflow

MTurboComp obviously speeds up the workflow tremendously by providing access to so many classic compressors in a single click. But it doesn't stop there. Compressors are one of the most overused tools of any audio engineer, yet they are still based on designs and controls decades old, making them so hard to use. How about controlling the amount of compression? Such a basic task, yet almost impossible without changing output level making any decisions almost impossible.

So we took the liberty to set a new standard. All of the compressors MTurboComp emulates have almost the same GUI so that you always know what to do. They do have the controls the originals did, but they have far more than that: Compression to control the amount of compression with minimum changes to output level, Saturation to get additional character, Dry/wet control for parallel compression, and finally, side-chain input, detector high-pass, low-pass, and a peak filters, so that you can easily tune the compressor to your audio material. The classic Melda goodies such as automatic gain compensation, safety limiter, mid/side processing, and A-H snapshots are included of course.

Emulations designed by machine learning

Developers usually simulate the vintage compressors by analyzing the circuits and test signals. That way it takes a long time to emulate a single compressor and it is prone to all kinds of errors. We took a very different approach - we designed a dynamics processor so versatile, that it could simulate almost anything. And we definitely didn't dare to set it up manually afterward - we let the computers do that for us!

It took the computers a long time and didn't spare us days of listening tests and manual work, but it still got us to a great emulation of more than a dozen classic compressors in a record time :). They don't sound exactly the same, after all not even the originals don't sound exactly the same to one another. But maybe MTurboComp sounds better than the originals. Just try and listen for yourself.

Design your own super-compressor!

Well, perhaps you don't like something about the vintage tools. MTurboComp lets you change them. Or even better, it lets you invent new dynamics processors. With 4 level detectors running in parallel, each following the input or side-chain and having all kinds of settings and transformation curves, a fully-featured dynamic equalizer, and 2 saturators you can do a lot... almost anything if you count in the modulators. So how about listening to both the input and the side-chain at the same time? Or following different parts of the spectrum with different settings? Perhaps you can come up with much better ideas!
