Metric Halo MELDMELD provides a comprehensive signal chain for your ATMOS and stereo mix processing: 12-band fully parametric EQ with Analyzer. Compressor. Limiter. Loudness/Clipping processor. MixHead tape saturation processor. All of the process blocks are dynamically reorderable and groupable across any number of instances. MELD is the answer to the problem of building a cohesive music mix in ATMOS. It was created to solve the key issue that John Hanes was encountering while building immersive ATMOS mixes to match stereo mix masters. In ATMOS immersive mixes, channels are mixed to beds and objects. A bed is a multichannel bus or stem, and may be processed similarly to how a stereo bus is processed (as long as you have multichannel capable tools - which MELD provides). Objects, which are required for immersive overhead panning, are panned by the renderer - which means they must be delivered discretely. Simply put, with ATMOS objects, when you are processing audio that conceptually forms a bus, the bus you are creating is virtual (as there is never a sum available in the mix environment). With a virtual bus there is no place to apply bus processing, which is a key technique in building proper music mixes for pop and rock. MELD elegantly and quickly solves this problem. It turns out that solving these problems in ATMOS mixes yields great benefits for stereo mixes as well. When you insert MELD into a session, every instance is aware of all the other instances. You can access any channel directly from within the MELD UI - no need to navigate your mix from the host DAW - everything (including Solo, Mute, Metering and grouping) is at your fingertips within the MELD UI. MELD has 26 virtual busses (groups); any instance can be added to a group. All instances in a group share the same processor settings. This allows you to apply the same processing to many channels - same as you would if you bussed them together and applied the processing on the bus. But each channel is still available discretely to be sent to objects or processed further. MELD also allows you to manage the detector sidechain for the dynamics processing blocks (Compressor and Limiter) in a group. This lets you key channels within a group or from any other channel or bus that has a MELD instance - all without having to manage complex routing within the host. The default shared-sidechain routing for groups allows you to achieve bus-compression for channels routed to objects. MELD also provides exciting new tricks that are unavailable in traditional bus-processing workflows; since the channels that are part of the bus are still available discretely after processing, you can adjust levels and EQ post-bus compression - whether or not you plan to send the channels to objects or simply submix them back to a stereo bus or a multichannel bed. And of course, it sounds great. Key Features World-class Signal Processing and Workflow 12-band Fully Parametric EQ w/ Analyzer. Compressor. Limiter. MixHead tape processing.
