So although Melda are able to cover almost everything I expect from my VST collection, I have to be honest and say that distortion is the one area that Melda leaves me feeling a little uninspired.
I can see them being good for guitarists and stuff, but when it comes to things like creating a custom distortion that sounds good on a particular electronic bassline, I always end up removing the Melda and inserting Trash2.
There's just something about Trash that makes it so easy to mess around and quickly find a sound that makes an aggressive bass sound absolutely amazing.
Curently Trash and Vertigo are my goto distortions (Vertigo for bus processing), but really, I would love to replace Trash with a Melda plug.
It's just that every time I try, I fail miserably.
Maybe it's because Vojtech has a background in live / band playing, or maybe it's just that I don't know his plugins well enough?
All I know is... there's something about that graphical grid in Trash, that makes it sooo easy to come up with unexpected and attention grabbing sounds.
Well... it's that, coupled with the way you can just change the distortion type on the left, and your custom curve now draws a completely different shape!
Such an engrossing and rewarding process, when you are making things like Techno etc.
So I guess I am asking if we are ever gonna see something from Melda that can rival this plugin.
And Vojtech, don't take this as a personal attack on your plugins... there is literally nothing that can compare with Trash for me. But if I could name one developer as the person I think could make a useable alternative, it would be you, 100%
Ok that's all I have to say.
Would be interested to know though, if I am missing something in his other plugins?
I use MwaveshaperMB for saturating kicks and bass sometimes, and sometimes choose that over Vertigo, but I've never tried to use it in the same way I use Trash. It just doesn't feel expressive enough, so I can't imagine it giving the same results.
