Melda: creative, sounds good, limitless possibilities but sometimes overly complex the plugins feature also plenty of ways to be abused for more creative effects, however if nerdy sounddesign is your thing Melda offers sonic capabilities that Fabfilter struggles to meet.įabfilter: functional, high quality, great GUIs, does everything it is supposed to do The EQ does everything one might want from an EQ, the Limiter everything one wants from a limiter and so on. With Fabfilter you get plugins with very well thought out GUIs which can handle all mixing tasks, also the more complex ones, relatively easily. However sometimes more complex functionality can be a bit difficult to grasp and hidden behind tabs/windows/popups. With Melda's bundle you get every imaginable type of plugin and can complete both normal tasks and do bizarre things. I'd say it depends whether you are more into sound-designing and creative music making or mixing/mastering. I own, use and love plugins from both companies.
