Essential Information About Melda MCompare Software
- Instant A/B referencing: compare your mix/master to commercial tracks, the "dry" signal, and every stage of your chain.
- Automatic level matching and latency compensation for truly objective decisions.
- Ultra-fast workflow: one-click crossfade, multiple memories, global preset management, and clear visualization.
- 64-bit engine, free lifetime updates, dongle-free activation, VST/AU/AAX formats on macOS and Windows.
What Melda MCompare Is For
MCompare is designed to make your mixing and mastering decisions reliable. It neutralizes volume bias, aligns levels between your work and commercial references, and allows you to check spectral and spatial balance without being misled by higher gain. With one click, you can assess whether a compressor, equalizer, or limiter truly improves the clarity, dynamics, and stereo perception of your production.
Main Features
All-in-One Referencing
Load multiple reference tracks, compare them to your "dry" signal and to different points in your processing chain, or even to different versions of that chain. Everything is accessible within a single instance, with each comparison done in one click via smooth crossfade.
Reliable Decisions Thanks to Level-Matching
MCompare automatically calibrates the reference levels to yours and compensates for latency. This way, you evaluate pure sound quality (frequency balance, depth, punch) instead of being influenced by a simple volume increase.
Fast Visualization and Control
The advanced interface combines classic meters and time graphs for immediate visual feedback. MIDI Learn facilitates control from a controller, and the global preset system allows you to save, recall, and share your settings instantly.
Studio Performance and Compatibility
The 64-bit engine supports unlimited sample rates and handles M/S, mono, up to 8 surround channels, and up to 64 ambisonics channels. AVX2/AVX512 optimization ensures exemplary responsiveness, even in heavy sessions.
