Melda Production Melda MDoubleTracker

MDoubleTracker is a marvellous natural-sounding artificial stereo expander. Need some wide vocals? Or some huge guitars? MDoubleTracker has been designed for just that!

Natural big sound, like the real thing

Double tracking is a simple old technique, but it's also hard to get it right and takes a very long time, after all you need to record things multiple times, then you have the timing problems and so on. With MDoubleTracker it is as simple as inserting the effect into your DAW. It will do some magic by varying pitch and delays in both left and right channels to get you that big wide sound, with ease and perfect timing. It can be even used in surround environment.

Good old algorithms

MDoubleTracker is based on some pretty old techniques used for decades on some hardware modules such as Eventide H3000. These have been used by high end producers for decades. We just improved them a bit and got you some additonal features, just in case you feel creative.

MeldaProduction goodies

As always you'll find the standard MeldaProduction features: 16x upsampling, M/S, surround support as well as other channel modes, AGC, A-H presets for easy comparisons, and our easy to use integrated help system.

Features:

1. Automatic gain compensation (AGC) - Most plugins change loudness of the output audio, which makes browsing presets inconvenient, not mentioning randomization. MDoubleTracker includes automatic gain compensation, which quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better in cases it is just louder.
2. Safety limiter - Some plugins can intensely increase gain when exposed to specific audio materials. MDoubleTracker provides a safety brickwall limiter, which ensures the output stays below 0dB and prevents your equipment and your ears from potential danger automatically.
3. Advanced GUI - User interfaces need to be fast, simple to use and be easy on the eye. Everyone's needs can be different, so flexibility is important. Melda solves this with the most advanced GUI engine on the market.
4. - Stylable: From vintage hardware to super futuristic. You can choose the colours and style of the GUI, making our plugins personal to you.
5. - Resizable: All Melda plugins are freely resizable. Many also feature popup windows. So no matter how many screens you have or what size they are, you will be able to arrange your plugins to keep a focus on what is important.
6. - GPU Accelerated: All the elements in the GUI are accelerated by your GPU. This makes the graphics lightning-fast and frees up extra power for your CPU to focus on the audio.
7. - Stunning Quality: Melda plugins support HDPI and Retina displays, so you will experience beautiful crisp resolutions. With adjustable frames per second up to 100, you will not miss a thing in our detailed analyzers.
8. Global preset management and online preset exchange - MDoubleTracker 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 of other users from our servers. We are building a community and you can be a part of it!
9. Adjustable up-sampling 1x-1024x - Digital audio provides very superior audio quality compared to ancient analog gear, but there are problems too. The main problem is the aliasing, which may be noticeable, when using nonlinear processes such as compression or saturation. MDoubleTracker includes both minimum-phase and high-quality linear-phase upsampling algorithms, which avoids the aliasing.
10. Extremely fast, optimized for newest AVX2 and AVX512 capable processors - Computers are now extremely fast, but the algorithms are more complex and projects bigger, so we still need to use the processing power with care. MDoubleTracker uses the fastest algorithms, takes advantage of the newest processor capabilities, lets your GPU handle the graphics, and shares the resources with other MeldaProduction plugins. The plugin is among the fastest on the market, yet it provides the best possible audi
11. Supports VST, VST3, AU and AAX interfaces on Windows (both 32-bit and 64-bit) & Mac (64-bit only) - MDoubleTracker supports all major hosts on both platforms. Check system requirements for information about compatibility and installation.
12. MIDI controllers with MIDI learn - MDoubleTracker contains a powerful MIDI processor, which listen to MIDI controllers and MIDI keyboard and control any parameters realtime.
13. Multiparameters - MDoubleTracker lets you control multiple parameters using a single so-called multiparameter. This may not only come handy for automation for example, but the multiparameters are very smart units and you can use them to smartly morph between banks of settings for example. All in the name of creativity!
14. M/S, single channel, up to 8 channels surround and up to 64 channels ambisonics processing... - MDoubleTracker can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also mid/side encoding for stereo field processing, separate left & right channels, separate mid or side signal, up to 8 channels of surround audio and even up to the mighty 7th order ambisonics having staggering 64 channels. It is perfect for audio production for music, movies, games, VR...
15. 64-bit processing and an unlimited sampling rate - MDoubleTracker provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. It does not make much sense to go over 192kHz, but if you think it is a good idea, the plugin can do that.
16. Compare multiple settings - A/B comparison is a widely used method to objectively hear the changes you are making to your audio and help you to make better decisions, non destructively.
17. - A to H Switching: Melda has taken this to the next level. Have up to 8 instances of the plugin, copy/paste the A to H slots and freely switch between them.
18. - A to D Morphing: You can also morph between the first 4 slots with an X-Y pad. Not sure which preset to choose? You could load 4 and find the perfect blend of all of them. Not sure if A or B sounds better? You might prefer an interpolated state somewhere between the two.
19. No dongle nor internet access is required for activation - How many times did you forget your USB dongle? We are an honest company and expect the same from our customers. Our software uses licence files to activate your software. And the licences are to-person, so you can use it on all your computers as long as you are the user.
20. Modulators - MDoubleTracker provides 4 fully-featured modulators which can control any set of parameters including other modulators. Each modulator works as an LFO, level follower, midi/audio triggered ADSR enveloper, randomizer or pitch detector, or even a combination and can listen to the plugin\'s side-chain. You can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. You can make various parameters depend on the input (or the sidechain) level or even listen to the input pitch.
21. Free-for-life updates - When you buy the software you are entitled to free updates, forever. No more money wasted on major updates like it is with other companies. And we update our software a lot!
22. Unique visualisation 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 comprehensive metering system is extremely flexible and delivers you 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 reductio
