Metric Halo MELD (Digital produkt)

A Cohesive Mix Bus for ATMOS and Stereo Workflows

MELD is a multi-channel EQ, dynamics, and saturation plugin from Make Believe Studios and Metric Halo, built with John Hanes of MixStar Studios. It recreates the cohesion of a stereo mix bus inside Dolby ATMOS sessions, where channels route to beds and objects instead of summing to one place. Every instance talks to the others.

What Sets This Plugin Apart

Up to 26 virtual groups (A to Z) let you link instances and apply shared EQ, compression, and limiting to whole sections of a mix. The EQ, compressor, MixHead tape saturation, loudness and limiter blocks can be reordered by dragging their tabs, and shared sidechain support links the compressor and limiter detectors of a group so they react to all of its tracks combined.

Who Should Reach for This Plugin

Mix engineers working in Dolby ATMOS who want their immersive mixes to feel as glued as their stereo masters will find this plugin indispensable. It also works as a general mixing tool for stereo, replacing aux busses, folders and sub-masters. Sold as a perpetual full-version download, it runs as AU, VST2, VST3 or AAX on macOS 10.10+ and as VST or AAX on Windows 7+, dropping into Pro Tools, Logic, Studio One, Nuendo and other major DAWs.
