Best MeldaProduction Plugins
1. Melda MConvolutionMB
More Info & Price (Trial Available)
The MConvolutionMB is Melda Productions’ 6-band convolution reverb plugin.
Each band supports two IRs, whether generated by the plugin or imported as files. You can adjust the balance between the two different IRs with the band’s Ratio knob. The plugin also comes with Melda signature features, such as global and per-band randomization, Edit Mode, and several hidden settings menus in which you can fully customize your sound.
Key Features:
- File, Reverb, & Filter
These three browser menus allow you to add different effects to any of the six bands. You can choose two of the same or from different categories. Files are your own IRs located on your computer. Reverb contains IRs built-in with Melda’s software.
Lastly, Filter contains a list of processing settings you can add to accelerate your workflow. Since each band allows up to two effects, you can add a total of twelve effects to this plugin.
- Harmonics
By right-clicking any band, you’ll open the Band Settings menu, where you’ll find general controls, such as frequency, Q, gain, and panorama. Below these, there is a panel called Harmonics. It has three parameters, Maximal Count, Semitones, and Harmonics.
Underneath them, there’s a Grid. These controls allow you to create clones of the main band at higher frequencies. They are excellent for removing natural noises, which can bring harmonics with them.
- Kernel Settings
This is the heart and soul of the plugin’s modulation capabilities. Each band supports two Kernels, which can be the aforementioned File, Reverb, and/or Filter. Each Kernel has 15 adjustable parameters, plus a six-band equalizer.
Among the available parameters, you’ll find Pitch Shift, Left and Right Delay, Modulation Depth and Rate, Gain, Widening, and many more.
Character and Sound:
At the end of the signal chain, there is a master equalizer that affects the reverb sound before it blends back with the dry signal. In it, there is a saturation knob that simulates the soft saturation an analog equalizer would add to the sound.
It’s a subtle touch, but it adds character to the reverb, which is something most plugins on this list don’t do. Alternatively, you can add saturation through the EQ available within each Kernel.
Compatibility:
This plugin is available as a VST, AU, and AAX plugin for 64-bit only Macs running macOS10.9 and newer, and 32- and 64-bit PCs running Windows 7 or up.
Summary:
Believe it or not, Melda’s done it again. The MConvolutionMB lives up to the brand’s reputation of providing producers with affordable, fully customizable tools so they can make their own sound. If you’re one of those that absolutely must tweak everything until it sounds perfect, this plugin is for you.

2. Melda MBassador (Bass Enhancer)
More Info & Price (Trial Available)
With the MBassador plugin from Melda, you can easily create missing bass most pleasantly.
There is probably not much to say about how important low-end is for modern music. In most cases, our primary tool for working with it will be the equalizer. But what if your source does not have the bass response due to poor miking techniques? In this case, a plugin from Czech company MeldaProduction can help us to fix it.
The MBassador plugin resynthesizes lost bass frequencies based on existing mid-range harmonics. As a result, you get an enhanced solid and tight bass. You can control this process thanks to modules responsible for different areas and thus find the right sound easily and quickly.
Key Features:
- Use For Any Bass Instrument
The MBassador is great for any instrument that needs a low-end lift. It could be a kick drum, a bass guitar, or a bass synth. The addition of bass frequencies is done musically here, so it sounds the most organic.
- Bass Enhancer
It is the first plugin module that is colored green. Thanks to it, you will be able to add the necessary information around 100 hertz. The re-synthesis is very tight and produces nice upper-harmonics.
- Sub Generator
You can use the second module, called Sub Generator if you want to go even further and add sub information to your sound. It creates a tone an octave below the lowest note.
- The Lowest Sub
It is the last module that will give you the ability to generate even more sub information. The Sub 2 Generator will add harmonics 2 octaves below the lowest note. A great feature for extra low-end.
- Shape Your Tone However You Want
You will have ample opportunity to sculpt your bass sound. For example, you can use the Tone control to add the desired upper harmonics. There’s also a Saturation slider, which will give you more aggression and bite.
Compatibility:
The plugin is available for Windows Vista or higher (both 32 or 64-bit) and macOS 10.9 or higher (64-bit only). It comes in VST/3, AU, and AAX formats.
Summary:
The MBassador plugin can save your low-end. It comes in handy where EQ is powerless and provides a lot of options with low-frequency restoration. Thanks to the three modules, you can work on both bass and sub information. Plus, the plugin adds this in the most musical way possible, so it’s hard to notice the difference.

3. Melda MTremoloMB
More Info & Price (Trial Available)
The MMultiband Tremolo by Mela Productions may seem a bit simple at first look, thanks to the Windows 95-like design of its interface.
However, this plugin has an impressive arsenal of signal shaping capabilities. This plugin sets itself apart by applying multiband volume modulation to a signal instead of standard volume automation.
Key Features:
- Up to 6 independent bands
You can choose to affect six independent frequency bands on their dry signal. For example, you can set the high frequency to have a fast modulation rate while simultaneously leaving the low-mids on a slow tremolo speed. Try using this mode on padding instruments like strings or synths to give them some exciting motion dynamics.
- Step Sequencer
The MMultiband Tremolo comes with a fully customizable waveshape construction kit. There is a wide selection of predefined slopes and curves that you can utilize to build unique modulation sequences. You can also save their sequences for future use.
- Built-in Limiter
The built-in limiter on this plugin will help you set appropriate gain peaks for your overall output. The limiter will also help clean up any signal clipping caused by the plugin’s processing. This feature will save you time when trying to blend your affected signal with your overall mix.
Compatibility:
MMultiband Tremolo is available to Windows 7 and higher users and Mac users with OS X 10.9 or higher. It comes in 32 and 64-bit versions as VST, VST3 AAX, or AU formats.
Summary:
We can sing many praises about the MMultiband Tremolo plugin. The application of multiband mechanics to the tremolo effect is a novel but compelling idea. If used correctly, you’ll be able to generate endless volume automation sequences that will liven up any stagnant elements in your mix. Should you find the interface intimidating, there is an Easy Mode feature with basic controls that are easier to comprehend.

4. MeldaProduction MCombMB
More Info & Price (Trial Available)
The MCombMB by Melda Productions is a multi-band comb filter with extensive sound-shaping controls.
The plugin splits the audio into up to six frequency bands, each with four filters. You can easily adjust the frequency, gain, and panorama of each filter in the main view. If all this control is too much, you can choose to randomize your filtering. This option is available inside each filter or globally for complete randomization. As with most Melda plugins, you can access a settings menu for each section of the plugin that gives you more controls and possibilities.
Key Features:
- Band Editor
On the outside, the band editor might seem like a simple frequency analyzer. However, it hides several essential features. As mentioned, you can add up to six bands in the MCombMB. These bands are divided in the band editor by a long vertical line.
You can reposition each band by dragging its central dot or adjust its gain by dragging the horizontal line. At the bottom, the short vertical line allows you to change the band’s panorama when in stereo mode or its depth when in mid-side mode.
In the band menu, you can thoroughly adjust each band’s crossover, redefine the bands you’re working with, create new bands, and include different types of analyzers on top of the frequency spectrum. All this helps you not only focus on where and how you want the plugin to act but also how much information you want from it.
- Band & Filter Panels
Below the Band Editor, you’ll find the band-selection area and the main comb-filtering controls. Use the arrows at the upper-right corner of this section to select the additional bands. For each band, you get four different filters.
You can use all four or bypass a few. Alternatively, you can bypass an entire band to check how it sounds. You get a Dry/Wet knob that lets you blend the unprocessed signal back with the modulation. The Gain, Frequency, and Panorama knobs work individually with each filter, letting you shape the sound as you want.
The Feedback knob controls the amount of processed signal that returns to the input, and it has a limiter of its own to avoid the typical feedback squeal. Attack and Release knobs are used to shape the feedback limiter.
Finally, you also get high-pass and low-pass filters for the entire band, named Min and Max. This large set of controls lets you filter your sound in virtually any possible way.
- Presets & Randomization
The MCombMB comes with several factory-made presets, all with creative and intriguing names and functions. You can select a preset or Ctrl-click the preset grid to load a random preset. Alternatively, you can use the intelligent randomization features of the plugin to come up with unexpected results.
You can apply the Random function by clicking on the dice icon, choosing to randomize the entire plugin’s settings or focus on bands and filters. You can also Ctrl-click the dice icon to restrain the engine so it only slightly randomizes the chosen parameters or Alt-click it, which will result in extreme randomization.
Character and Sound:
The MCombMB doesn’t add any saturation to the sound, neither does it distort the output. The safety-net limiter prevents loud peaks generated by the frequency modulations from ever-crossing unity gain. Furthermore, you can enhance sound quality with up to 16x of oversampling. It is a transparent plugin that responds cleanly to your settings.
Compatibility:
This plugin is available for 32- and 64-bit PCs running Windows Vista or newer and 64-bit-only Macs running macOS 10.9 or higher. It is available in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats.
Summary:
MCombMB is a thorough application designed to put all comb-filtering power in the hands of the user. The randomization engine and the hidden settings menus are the icings on this plugin’s cake—a versatile and user-friendly comb filter for the modern producer.

5. MeldaProduction MVibratoMB
More Info & Price (Trial Available)
The MVibratoMB is an incredibly versatile vibrato emulator from Melda Production.
The GUI is fully customizable, and you can change the shape of all the windows and color schemes of every aspect of the interface so that it’s less harsh on your eyes while using. There are also two user modes to choose from.
You can select an easy mode to access a basic interface and fundamental vibrato parameters, such as the effective rate and depth. Alternatively, you can use the expanded mode, which opens you to a nearly overwhelming set of control options.
Key Features:
- Multiband LFO
You can apply your vibrato parameters to up to 6 independent bands with the Mmultiband Vibrato for some intriguing tonal dynamics. Each is entirely adjustable and works with three crossover algorithms to help prevent any frequency clashes during processing. You can also set peaks and limits for each separate band and the master output of the plugin.
- LFO Draw Tool
The MMultiband features an LFO editor that lets users design custom LFO patterns for their vibrato. The editor includes a draw mode and a list of stock slopes and curves that you can piece together to generate intricate oscillation sequences.
- Smoothness control
Use this setting to flatten out any slopes in your LFO shapes that are too steep or sharp. This will give your vibrato a more organic overall sound and really helps to blend your output with your overall mix.
- Step Sequencer
Within the interface’s LFO Editor is a step sequencer that you can apply to your vibrato patterns. This feature is great for creating defined rhythmic modulations around your audio signal.
Character and Sound:
The MMultiband Vibrato’s in-depth interface creates modulations that you could not necessarily recreate with analog gear. Features such as the step-sequencer and custom shape editor work very well in modern sound design circumstances, such as film or game scoring.
Compatibility:
Mmultiband Vibrato comes in 32 and 64-bit Vst, Au, and AAX formats. It’s available for Windows 7 or higher and Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
Summary:
The MMultiband Vibrato’s greatest asset is its multiband processing capabilities. You can apply independent LFO modulations to different sections of your signal’s frequency range. For instance, you could apply harsh, choppy modulation to your signal’s sub-bass area while leaving the high end completely dry and free of processing. This gives you some unique expressional artillery and makes this plugin well worth a try.

12. Melda MEqualizer (Great For Mixing & Mastering)
The MEqualizer offers a world of sonic manipulation with its extensively visual workflow and analog sound.
This plugin is one of the easiest and polished looking parametric EQs with six bands, built-in tube saturation, and harmonics control. It has a built-in spectrum and sonogram, with detailed controls over their behavior.
Making working with the EQ easier has a feature called “Areas,” which are labels that appear over the graphical view. These labels, spread across the frequency spectrum, often have the names of instruments appearing in the corresponding frequency area.
However, you can also create your own Areas and save them for future use. Similarly, it also has many interesting presets for you to get started with. For general parametric equalization, the MEqualizer is one of the best, even among the paid ones.
Key Features:
- Seven Filter Types
Each of the six bands in this plugin can be one out of the seven filter types. The types low/high shelves, low-pass/high-pass, single-pole low-pass/high-pass, band-pass, and notch filters. The low-pass/high-pass filters are noteworthy for their impressive slope steepness of up to 60 dB per octave. On the flip side, the single-pole filters only have a slope of 6 dB per octave. However, they are the most natural-sounding.
- Auto-Listen
This feature lets you listen to the band you are adjusting without having to sweep it around and risking your ear health. As soon as you grab one of the nodes in the graph, it lets you listen to the range of frequencies the band is affecting. Of course, you can also disable the feature if you don’t like it.
- Analog Sound
This plugin employs an integrated tube saturation that you can control using the knob of the same name at the top of the interface. Increasing the knob adds drive to the preamp and makes your audio sound grittier and warmer.
- Harmonics
You can enable this feature for each of the bands, and it will repeat the boost or cut over the harmonics occurring from the frequency selected. You can control the harmonics by controlling the semitones over which each occurs. Similarly, you can also control how many harmonics to generate, which ones to enable or disable (for odd/even harmonics), etc. Try using this feature on a synth pad and automate the frequency knob to get interesting filter sounds.
Compatibility:
The MEqualizer is available for Windows Vista or higher 32-bit and 64-bit and macOS 10.9 or higher 64-bit. It comes in VST 2/3, AU, and AAX formats.
Summary:
This plugin is a win in many ways. It has a detailed, resizable user interface, incredible efficiency, and one-of-a-kind features. If refined spectrum view, interesting filters, and an optional saturation stage sound like your thing, we recommend checking this one out.
However, note that to install the EQ, you will need to download the entire free plugin package, although installation is optional.

Bonuses:
1. MeldaProduction MCompleteBundle
More Info & Price (Trial Available)
Comprehensive is the only description.
Although a relatively new company (founded in 2009), MeldaProduction has gained a reputation as one of the best developers with a wide variety of plugins. The MCompleteBundle contains every plugin, instrument, and tool ever developed by the company.
And presently, that means a whopping 112 plugins covering basics like reverb, compressor, and EQ to auto-align, automatic dynamic EQ, looper, pitch shifting, etc.
Key Features:
Instruments
The MCompleteBundle comes with three instrument plugins: MDrummer, MPowerSynth, and MSoundFactory. MDrummer is a powerful drum machine with a large library of sounds and loops covering pop, DnB, rock, RnB, jazz, EDM, percussions, etc.
Furthermore, it features an intelligent rhythm generator that can create new loops or variations of your custom loop. MPowerSynth is a synth with three oscillators, one noise generator, two 100+ mode filters, and an FX section.
Furthermore, it features customizable LFOs, envelopes, and random generators to modulate just about anything in the synth. And it has a feature-rich polyphonic arpeggiator. And finally, MSoundFactory is a synth-sampler hybrid instrument that is Melda’s ultimate sound designing instrument.
It uses a grid-based workflow, where you can add as many oscillators as you want and route them to filters, modulators, effects, etc. Furthermore, you can even load MDrummer inside MSoundFactory to make use of its tools and samples. It also comes with many built-in instruments that are fully customizable as well.
Effects
The effect plugins in this bundle are far too many to cover here. However, I’ll attempt to point out the highlights. MAutoEqualizer analyzes your track and automatically EQs your track based on your preference without any latency. Similarly, MCabinet is a cabinet simulator for guitars and bass.
However, instead of providing you with impulse response samples, it lets you create custom cabinets using “profiles” of real-world cabinets as the foundation. MCharacter lets you control the first 32 harmonics of any monophonic audio like vocals, lead guitar, etc. Unlike traditional EQs, it lets you control the brightness or thickness of a sound smoothly regardless of the audio’s pitch. Furthermore, you can generate synthetic harmonics to add a sub-octave, for example.
Many plugins have a multi-band variant (like MChorusMB, MCombMB, MConvolutionMB reverb, MDynamicsMB, MRhythmizerMB, etc.). These let you control the sound of a specific band of frequencies, leaving the rest untouched. For example, MRhythmizer is a gating/glitching plugin revered by many EDM and electronic producers. However, if you want more control, you can use the MRhythmizerMB to glitch only the high frequencies, for example.
Life-Time Free Updates
When you buy the MCompleteBundle, you will own the current range of MeldaProduction plugins and all of the future products. These include updates of your existing plugins, all upcoming effects, and even instrument packs. This generous business model makes the bundle have an enormous value despite the high price tag.
Compatibility:
The MeldaProduction MCompleteBundle is available for Windows 7 or higher 32-bit and 64-bit and macOS 10.9 or higher 64-bit only. It comes in VST 2/3, AU, and AAX formats.
Summary:
If you’re looking for a massive package of plugins that covers everything from production to mixing and mastering, the MCompleteBundle is probably the only one. I’ve barely even scratched the surface of this bundle in my description.
There are even niche tools for analyzing audio, manipulating pitch, generating MIDI modulation, etc. However, being a large collection also makes the first investment quite high. Still, if you consider the number of plugins, instruments, and future updates you are receiving, the price feels well worth it.

You’ll find staples like a compressor, EQ, filters, analyzers, saturators, etc., and also special tools like loudness matcher, autotune, auto-panner, MIDI signal generator, etc. Overall, if you don’t own the paid suite, this bundle is a must-have for every producer.
Key Features:
- Powerful
Despite being free, the plugins in this bundle are surprisingly capable. For example, you’ll find a convolution reverb called MConvolutionEZ with a ton of impulse responses. Similarly, MEqualizer is a powerful 6-band EQ with integrated tube saturation and harmonics control.
And the MLoudnessAnalyzer features everything you could need from a loudness metering plugin.
- Excellent UI
Each plugin in the MFreeFXBundle has a fully resizable user interface. Furthermore, the design is intuitive and allows your creativity to run free without having to overthink. Similarly, you’ll find large dB meters and spectrums in many of the plugins that help you get better results.
Compatibility:
The MeldaProduction MFreeFXBundle is available for Windows 7 or higher 32-bit and 64-bit and macOS 10.9 or higher 64-bit only. It comes in VST 2/3, AU, and AAX formats.
Summary:
For a free plugin bundle, the plugins you’ll receive in MFreeFXBundle are laudable. Although you’ll find several of these in stock plugins of your DAW, there are few with surprisingly excellent features that surpass stock plugins. For example, I find the MEqualizer sleeker and usable compared to many other free EQs, thanks to its design and built-in analog elements. So, if you are just getting started with music production, go ahead and get this bundle.
