Spectral Ducking using MSpectraldynamics

[@jakelondon]

I know this is an old video but would still be cool to see a quick video on how the different sidechain options work in practice. I've had this plugin for a few years now and while I mostly understand the basics, your tutorials really help to bring new things to light. I suspect I'm missing nuances on the sidechain stuff, which might be useful.

[@Chandlerguitar]

Ok, I'll try to do a video on the side chain options in the future.

[@Niowiad]

Very good demonstration. This one has been out in a while, terribly underestimated plugin. A true gem from Vojtech.

[@Chandlerguitar]

Thanks. It's an amazing plug-in that gets overlooked sometimes.

[@solar_genesis]

I love it, could t wait to see this song spectrally dyanicised, you could make it even more extreme for a more modern feel!

[@Chandlerguitar]

Thank you. Yeah you can go really extreme if you want and create really interesting sounds.

[@newguy6935]

Very helpful. Really appreciate it. Am also beginning to wonder if the creators of a lot of plugins out there get their ideas MMelda plugins. The MMelda plugins always seem ahead of the pack and more comprehensive.

[@Chandlerguitar]

Yeah they throw in everything and the kitchen sink. Melda has a lot of unique plug-ins.

Could you make more videos about MSpectralDynamics? Please.

[@Chandlerguitar]

Ok, I'll try to do some videos of it in the future.

[@thamilanban]

Mate, I have Mspectraldynamics. Could you please do a complete tutorial on it? Especially on the upward/downward compressor/expander and how it can be used for mastering. Thank you.

[@Chandlerguitar]

Ok, I'll try to get to that in the future.

[@a-job7276]

Hello, these Plugins surprise me more every day. In my opinion, MSpectralDynamics looks like oeksound soothe and DSEQ TBProAudio. I don't know if I'm right. What differences and similarities are there between MSpectralDynamics and MAutoDynamicEQ? Thank you.

[@Chandlerguitar]

MADEQ is a dynamic equalizer that can be used as just a normal EQ if you like. You don't need to use the dynamic part and you can save CPU. MSD is like MADEQ if it had hundreds of bands, but you couldn't move the frequencies. MSD is great if you want to balance the spectrum easily and quickly. You don't need to listen and search for frequencies. It is also good if there is an annoying resonance that moves around the frequency spectrum. For many things like De-Essing though, either can be used

[@a-job7276]

@@Chandlerguitar An EQ with Pitch tracking, and that is also Dynamic EQ, with side-chain and that is also like a macht-EQ. And with the MODs that this has. I don't know what more could I ask for. Maybe I can work with more tracks to clear the frequency masking, but I think there is already another plugin for that task. I see MSD a bit complicated. I don't really understand how it works? It is like a multiband compressor, with many bands ... The complicated part that I see is in drawing the threshold. The ratio, attack, release and knee is the same for all bands? If I left the line completely straight and horizontal, would the spectrum adjust to the pink noise balance? In order not to lower the dynamic range too much, it would be necessary to equalize before the MSD, right? To use it as a De-esser ?, you would have to see a few tutorials on how to use it and see in which location it would be necessary. Do you have videos on MSD?

[@solar_genesis]

Thanks

[@retsmej]

great ! can this replace waves vocal rider then ?

[@Chandlerguitar]

It's a bit different than vocal rider. MAutovolume is closest to vocal rider. However this can be used to keep your vocals above the background.

50off on sale now! 😁

[@DaveChips]

@This Guy super amazing and versatile plugin 😁

[@nichttuntun3364]

Hi Chandler, can this replace Soothe2 ?

[@Chandlerguitar]

I'm not sure because I don't have Soothe. I believe they work in the same way, so I think it could, but I don't know for sure.

[@nichttuntun3364]

@@Chandlerguitar thank you. I didn't need to check Soothe2 anymore. Worked myself into MSpecDyn and it does everything I wanted plus far more. Meldas tweakability!!!

[@Chandlerguitar]

@@nichttuntun3364 Great. Glad to hear it. If you need any help let me know.

[@owlmega-101]

Also I think Wavesfactory TrackSpacer works in the same concept?

[@YungstarProd]

@@owlmega-101that plugin is terrible compared to Melda.

[@Exaltation-heliacal]

He said bass and treble 😂.

[@111calling]

ABLETON USERS: Melda sidechain WONT WORK if you're using AU, you must use VST then it'll work no problem!

[@crowkangi]

ive owned the spectral dynamics plugin for over a year and I still have no idea what it can do. I guess your just supposed to know how to use it from lack of information on the inter webs.

[@YungstarProd]

Use easy mode if it’s too hard.
