You should! I had a lot of fun dialing sounds quickly.

What's nice about United Plugins stuff is that they basically took out all of the guess work from the Melda Stuff and made decisions for you under the hood so that you can just dial in a good sound quick and not have to fiddle around with every minor parameter.

Nice plugin, but what i don't like about United Plugins...most of them are relatively CPU heavy. Dropkick is about 10% on my System.

Okay, here's a stupid question -- why does it look like there's a towel inside the kick drum?

That's not a stupid question. It's damping for the kick to control resonance, it can also give a fatter sound. Damping can be done in several ways, some heads for drums have build in damping, and you can get use quite a few materials for additional damping. Towels are used, specialized products as well and in this case its a woolen protection cover from a cymbal bag ;-)

@@whitenoisestudio Interesting. And here I naively thought that each drum had only a single sound/configuration (aside from differences in sticks/beaters, hit placement, velocity, etc). Thank you for the info. Knowledge is a powerful thing.

@nomore6167 well drums are acoustic instruments. Size, tuning and how you play change sound. Type of shell, thickness and heads as well. And you can even get into how they’re mounted ;-)

Is Melda behind United Plugins? Or are they completely different things? While i am typing this you are at the „kick does not work well with „Trim“ sounds like its applying a kind of Gate envelope thats too short and then opens just before the next kick. Weird indeed ps: at 3:53 there was a glitch in the matrix

@@whitenoisestudio ah ok. I thought that something caught my eye a while back when i purchased a plugin from them. I hope they bring out mBassador in this United Plugins format cause i personaly find the classical melda gui way too complicated-too uninviting for fast workflow . At least for me

"Is Melda behind United Plugins" - Yes, UP is part of Melda. From UP's "About" page -- "The founding triad is JMG Sound, FireSonic and SounDevice Digital" and "UnitedPlugins live and create because of the help of another strong and experienced brand MeldaProduction, in the past. The UP brand is now a proud part of MeldaProduction company portfolio." If you order anything from UP's website and pay by credit card, the charge will actually appear as "FS *meldaproduction" (at least it did as of November 2023).

The developer said they didn't include dry/wet because it introduced too much phase cancellation
