MTurboComp is the ultimate (not just) compressor, emulating most classic vintage analog compressors. Incredible sound, exceptionally fast workflow, tons of additional features.

MTurboCompLE limitations

MTurboCompLE does not allow you to access the multiband version or the editing screen, so you cannot design your own compressors or modify existing ones. But it still contains more than a dozen classic analog compressors for a price anyone can afford.

Compression reinvented for a faster, easier workflow

MTurboComp obviously greatly speeds up the workflow by providing access to so many classic compressors with a single click. But it doesn't stop there. Compressors are one of the most used tools by any audio engineer, but they are still based on designs and controls from decades ago, making them very difficult to use. What about controlling the amount of compression? Such a basic task, but almost impossible without changing the production level, making any decision almost impossible.

So Melda took the liberty of setting a new standard. All the compressors emulated by MTurboComp have almost the same GUI, so you always know what to do. They have the controls the originals had, but they have much more than that: Compression to control the amount of compression with minimal changes in output level, Saturation for additional character, dry/wet control for parallel compression, and finally, side-chain input, high-pass detector, low-pass, and peak filters so you can easily adjust the compressor to your audio material. Of course, Melda's classic advantages are included, such as automatic gain compensation, safety limiter, mid/side processing, and AH snapshots.

Emulations designed by Machine Learning

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

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

Features

Advanced user interface

• User interfaces must be fast, easy to use, and pleasant to look at. Everyone's needs may be different, so flexibility is important. Melda solves this with the most advanced GUI engine on the market.
• Stylish: from vintage hardware to super futuristic. You can choose the colors and style of the GUI, making Melda's plugins personal to you.
• Resizable: all Melda plugins can be freely resized. Many also feature pop-up windows. Therefore, no matter how many screens you have or what size they are, you can arrange your plugins to focus on what matters.
• GPU accelerated: all GUI elements are accelerated by your GPU. This makes graphics ultra-fast and frees up additional power for your CPU to focus on audio.
• Impressive quality: Melda plugins support HDPI and Retina screens, so you will experience beautiful, crisp resolutions. With adjustable frame rates up to 100, you won't miss a thing in our detailed analyzers.

Unique display engine with classic meters and time graphs

• Your ears should always be the main tool, but they are not the only way to judge your audio. Visual aids can be incredibly useful for a variety of reasons. Melda's complete metering system is extremely flexible and provides you with accurate information when you need it. From classic meters to time-based graphs, you will see important visual feedback including; Input, Output, Stereo Width, Loudness, Waveforms, Bands, Gain Reduction, and Sidechain, and some plugin-dependent meters.

Unique generalized dynamic detector

• The dynamic detector used in MTurboCompLE has no rival on the market. It features 5 manual release modes and 5 automatic ones with adjustable thresholds and speed, true RMS, and true peak hold functions, lookahead, and more.
• It also provides completely unique features, such as adjustable attack and release shapes, providing unique analog gear simulation capabilities, spectral smoothing to minimize distortion levels below the imaginable level, psychoacoustic prefiltering, allowing you to compress the signal based on human auditory simulation instead of scientific levels. There is no audio material in the world that the plugin cannot be adjusted to.

Parallel compression with dry/wet control

• Parallel compression has never been so easy. And not just compression for the case. Engineers used to simulate this concept using complicated routing. With MTurboCompLE you can just use the dry/wet control. It's that simple.

Unique temporal gain feature

• Temporal gain provides an excellent way to control the amount of compression while keeping the output level stable. Based on tricks well known by the best producers, MTurboCompLE makes the workflow faster than ever.

M/S, mono, up to 8 channels of surround sound and up to 64 channels of ambisonic processing...

• MTurboCompLE can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also mid/side encoding for stereo field processing, separate left and right channels, separate mid or side signal, up to 8 channels of surround audio, and even powerful seventh-order ambisonics that have an amazing 64 channels. It is perfect for audio production for music, movies, games, VR...

Automatic gain compensation (AGC)

• Most plugins change the volume of the output audio, making it a hassle to navigate presets, not to mention randomization. MTurboCompLE includes automatic gain compensation, which quickly adapts to the current setting and ensures that the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking something sounds better in cases where it is louder.

Safety limiter

• Some plugins can intensely increase gain when exposed to specific audio materials. MTurboCompLE provides a safety wall limiter, which ensures that the output stays below 0dB and automatically prevents your equipment and your ears from suffering potential danger.

Adjustable 1x-1024x oversampling

• Digital audio provides much higher audio quality compared to vintage analog equipment, but there are also problems. The main problem is aliasing, which can be noticeable when using non-linear processes such as compression or saturation. MTurboCompLE includes high-quality minimum phase and linear phase oversampling algorithms, which prevent aliasing.

MIDI controllers with MIDI Learn

• MTurboCompLE contains a powerful MIDI processor, which listens to MIDI controllers and MIDI keyboard and controls any parameter in real time.

64-bit processing and unlimited sample rate

• MTurboCompLE provides the highest audio quality you can get. It uses 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sample rate. It doesn't make much sense to go past 192kHz, but if you think it's a good idea, the plugin can do it.

Extremely fast, optimized for the newest AVX2 and AVX512 processors...

• Computers are now extremely fast, but algorithms are more complex and projects are larger, so we still have to use processing power carefully. MTurboCompLE uses the fastest algorithms, takes advantage of the latest processor capabilities, lets your GPU handle graphics, and shares resources with other MeldaProduction plugins. The plugin is among the fastest on the market and, yet, provides the best possible audio quality.

Global preset management and online preset swapping

• MTurboCompLE presets are carefully stored in a system database and you can quickly access them from any project in any host. The plugin can automatically share your presets and download presets from other users from Melda's servers. Melda is building a community and you can be a part of it!

Compare multiple settings

• A/B comparison is a widely used method to objectively listen to the changes you are making to your audio and help you make better decisions, non-destructively.
• Switching from A to H: Melda has taken this to the next level. Have up to 8 instances of the plugin, copy / paste slots A to H and freely switch between them.
• Transformation from A to D: you can also transform between the first 4 slots with an XY pad. Not sure which preset to choose? You could load 4 and find the perfect combination of all of them. Not sure if A or B sounds better? You might prefer an interpolated state somewhere between the two.

Supports VST, VST3, AU, and AAX interfaces on Windows (64-bit only) and Mac (64-bit only)

• MTurboCompLE is compatible with all major hosts on both platforms.
