Meldaproduction has launched MDrumLeveler, a dynamics processor specially designed for drums and percussive instruments.

MDrumLeveler is a unique tool specially designed for drums and percussive materials. It will improve the drum performances, stabilize drum hit levels, remove leakage and ambience and let you control the drum hits better than you ever could with traditional tools.

Traditional dynamic processors (compressors, expanders, gates…) detect levels of input samples and transform them depending on the transfer curve. This means that the gain is changing on every sample. This can be very well used to shape the sound itself, but it is hard to make it transparent if you want to level individual drum hits. MDrumLeveler on the other hand analyzes the incoming audio, detects events (drum hits for example) in it and transforms them somehow. That way it adjusts the level of each event, but does not alter the actual sound or color, so the results are unbelievably transparent.

MDrumLeveler for Windows and Mac (VST/AU/AAX) is available for purchase for the introductory price of 59 EUR for a limited time (regular 149 EUR).

Meldaproduction has also announced a version 8.10 updated of its plug-ins, which brings major improvements to MCompare, ability to disable keyboard input, GUI improvements, optimizations, fixes and much more.
