Make Believe Studios - MELD (A comprehensive signal chain for ATMOS and stereo mix processing)

"Multichannel workflow designed by professionals for professionals."
- John Hanes

"MELD is a channelstrip plug-in... the ChannelStrip plug-in, since it houses some of the main tools used at Mixstar Studios: Metric Halo ChannelStrip and Make Believe Studios MixHead. MELD is designed to be inserted across any and all tracks in a host DAW session which would be bussed and processed in aux or group submix stems. All the instances of MELD communicate with each other, and the MELD UI lets you group and link the processing parameters to apply identical processing to every instance in the group, without any bus routing, prior to any panning stage..."
