MAutoVolume
MAutoVolume is a solution to a common problem - stabilizing loudness of a front instrument, such as a vocal, a bass or a saxophone.
Although you can use a compressor for this, setting it up may be very time consuming and the results questionable. You can also manually
automate the volume fader, which is the method most engineers used so far, and it is not exactly ideal as well. MAutoVolume solves this
problem quickly, easily and with astonishing results.
In most cases all you need to do is to put MAutoVolume as an insert onto the particular track, preferably as the last item in the chain. Then
you can use Output gain to adjust the desired output level, or you can use the mixer fader in your host, the functionality would be the
same.
Adjusting MAutoVolume for your audio material
In order to get the best results, you may want to experiment with the parameters that the plugin provides. First there is Input gain, which
you can use to compensate if your track is too silent or too loud. Watch the peak meters at the right of the plugin (click on the meters
button if you do not see them), especially the (Gain) meter, which shows the range of applied gain. Ideally this should vary around 0dB, ifG
not, you should use the input gain to compensate. The reason is, that the gain the plugin applies is limited by Range parameter, for your
own safety. If your track is very low level for example, the default limit of 24dB may not be enough, hence the plugin won't work so well,
and silent parts won't be compensated enough.
Sensitivity is the most important parameter, which says, how much should the plugin compensate the volume. Despite 100% makes the
loudness maximally stable, the effect may be too strong, unnatural, and such loss of dynamics may not actually be desired. In other words,
sometimes it's better if the loudness isn't too stable.
Look-ahead parameter may be useful to provide better dynamic response, to remove potential pumping artifacts for example. Speed
parameter controls how quickly the plugin reacts to changes in loudness. You can experiment with both of these parameters to get the most
natural results.
Finally Noise floor controls the input level at which the track is considered silent. When the performance ends, the plugin stops applying the
positive gain, because there's no relevant signal anymore, probably just noise, and it would need to apply a very high gain.
Using side-chain to keep a track "on top"
Most songs don't have constant dynamics. Choruses are louder than verses for example. Your major tracks, vocals usually, should adjust to
that. You can use MAutoVolume to stabilize the volume of these tracks, fix the fluctuations, and then manually automate the volume to
ensure particular track isn't too loud in verses or silent in choruses. But there's an easier automatic solution.
To do this, create a mix bus, which will contain all of the tracks in the mix, except for the vocal for example. Route output of this track to the
master output and also send it to MAutoVolume's side-chain input. Then enable the Side-chain panel in MAutoVolume. From this moment
the plugin will estimate loudness of your track as well as loudness of the background, the mix. As a result the vocal level won't be stabilized
to some constant predefined level, but according to the level of the mix, so with properly setup Output gain you can make the vocal track
always "on top" of the mix without any automation.
Several songs also have multiple front tracks - e.g. besides the vocals, there may be a guitar solo and a saxophone solo. It is perfectly safe
to send output of your mix bus into multiple MAutoVolume instances' side-chains. This method usually works well even if multiple of these
instruments are temporarily playing together.
Presets
Presets button shows a window with all available presets. A preset can be loaded from the preset window by double-clicking on it, selecting
via the buttons or by using your keyboard. You can also manage the directory structure, store new presets, replace existing ones etc.
Presets are global, so a preset saved from one project, can easily be used in another. The arrow buttons next to the preset button can be
used to switch between presets easily.
Holding while pressing the button loads a random preset. There must be some presets for this feature to work of course. Ctrl
Presets can be backed up by 3 different methods:
A) Using "Backup" and "Restore" buttons in each preset window, which produces a single archive of all presets on the computer.
B) Using "Export/Import" buttons, which export a single folder of presets for one plugin.
C) By saving the actual preset files, which are found in the following directories (not recommended):
Windows: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\MeldaProduction
Mac OS X: /Library/Application support/MeldaProduction
Files are named based on the name of the plugin like this: "{pluginname}.presets", so for example MAutopan.presets or MDynamics.presets.
If the directory cannot be found on your computer for some reason, you can just search for the particular file.
Please note that prior to version 16 a different format was used and the naming was "{pluginname}presets.xml".
The plugin also supports
an online preset exchange. If the computer is connected to the internet, the plugin connects to our server once a week, submits your
presets and downloads new ones if available. This feature is manually maintained in order to remove generally unusable presets, so it may
take some time before any submitted presets become available. This feature relies on each user so we strongly advise that any submitted
presets be named and organised in the same way as the factory presets, otherwise they will be removed.
Left arrow
Left arrow button loads the previous preset.
Right arrow
Right arrow button loads the next preset.
Randomize
Randomize button loads a random preset.
Panic
Panic button resets the plugin state. You can use it to force the plugin to report latency to the host again and to avoid any audio problems.
For example, some plugins, having a look-ahead feature, report the size of the look-ahead delay as latency, but it is inconvenient to do that
every time the look-ahead changes as it usually causes the playback to stop. After you tweak the latency to the correct value, just click this
button to sync the track in time with the others, minimizing phasing artifacts caused by the look-ahead delay mixing with undelayed audio
signals in your host. It may also be necessary to restart playback in your host.
Another example is if some malfunctioning plugin generates extremely high values for the input of this plugin. A potential filter may start
generating very high values as well and as a result the playback will stop. You can just click this button to reset the plugin and the playback
will start again.
Settings
Settings button shows a menu with additional settings of the plugin. Here is a brief description of the separate items.
Licence manager lets you activate/deactivate the plugins and manage subscriptions. While you can simply drag & drop a licence file onto
the plugin, in some cases there may be a faster way. For instance, you can enter your user account name and password and the plugin will
do all the activating for you.
There are 4 groups of settings, each section has its own detailed help information: enables you to pick the GUI style for theGUI & Style
plug-in and the main colours used for the background, the title bars of the windows and panels, the text and graphs area and the
highlighting (used for enabled buttons, sliders, knobs etc).
Advanced settings configures several processing options for the plug-in.
Global system settings contains some settings for all MeldaProduction plugins. Once you change any of them, restart your DAW if
needed, and it will affect all MeldaProduction plugins.
Dry/Wet affects determines, for Multiband plug-ins, which multiband parameters are affected by the Global dry/wet control.
Smart interpolation adjusts the interpolation algorithm used when changing parameter values; the higher the setting the higher the audio
quality and the lower the chance of zippering noise, but more CPU will be used.
WWW
WWW button shows a menu with additional information about the plugin. You can check for updates, get easy access to support,
MeldaProduction web page, video tutorials, Facebook/Twitter/YouTube channels and more.
Sleep indicator
Sleep indicator informs whether the plugin is currently active or in sleep mode. The plugin can automatically switch itself off to save CPU,
when there is no input signal and the plugin knows it cannot produce any signal on its own and it generally makes sense. You can disable
this in Settings / Intelligent sleep on silence both for individual instances and globally for all plugins on the system.
Plugin toolbar
Plugin toolbar provides some global features, A-H presets and more.
Oversampling
Oversampling can potentially improve sound quality by processing at a higher sample rate. Processors such as compressors, saturators,
distortions etc., which employ nonlinear processing generate higher harmonics of the existing frequencies. If these frequencies exceed
the Nyquist rate, which equals half of the sampling rate, they get mirrored back under the Nyquist rate. This is known as aliasing and is
almost always considered an artifact. This is because the mirrored frequencies are no longer harmonic and sound as digital noise as this
effect does not physically occur in nature. Oversampling reduces the problem by temporarily increasing the sampling rate. This moves
the Nyquist frequency which in turn, diminishes the level of the aliased harmonics. Note that the point of oversampling is not to remove
