satya Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 https://www.meldaproduction.com The most important thing in version 17 is the improvement of your comfort. Therefore, we created MPluginManager, which takes care of all your installations and licensing. It will keep your plugins updated, and will help you to install or repair anything without downloading unnecessary data. From now on, you will be able to manage your licenses and subscriptions from one place. Additionally, the MSoundFactory universal modular virtual instrument gained several new addons: Cyberpunk Bass, Trap Bass, Cyclicity, Ethereal Keys, Alchemist Whoosh, and Organic Scape. All of them are free for the license owners. The update also improves the efficiency of the core, and the compatibility of all Meldaproduction plugins (including the free ones) has been updated to meet current standards. Some plugins such as MTurboDelay gained a lot of new presets. Existing owners of Meldaproduction plugins can update for free, while new customers can start a new 15-day trial to try any of the Meldaproduction plugins. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had any issues yet and it seems like I've been running some version of v17 for a month on multiple computers. That said, the new installer doesn't allow the full off-line install stuff unless they changed something in the last week or so. Was told previously adding that back in was in the works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works on my two Windows 10 machines without any issues. Waiting for the offline option too, however, as I want to keep independent backups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a problem with their new plugin manager, on Macbook Pro M2, something that had to do with some font missing.. it went back and forth with their support team for about two weeks but they end up sorting that out. Great support in fact, reach them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSistine Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 A new plugin manager: They scare me to death! 😄 Frankly, if they do not reinstall the full offline possibility, then I will stay forever on the old version (and will not buy any Melda plugins anymore)!

GTsongwriter Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I actually should have never upgraded any of my Native Instruments... Every month it's asking to use the internet to confirm my licenses are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 It isn't much different than the older installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Works better for me than Native Access. For me to make that work these days, I have to either run it without admin privileges, or do a fresh download of it for every update. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J I'm an IT professional and I can think of quite a few performance and security reasons to keep your DAW offline all the time, except when doing a controlled update. Avoiding dodgy sites is only one component of the risk and performance aspect. This isn't practical for a lot of people but if the work and performance is critical, I can't imagine taking the risk and letting background processes communicate with the Internet whenever it feels like it. I would agree that an up to date OS is safer to go on line than it used to be. Edited August 13 by Brian Walton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down and take a deep breath. The current MPluginManager has a function where you can create an offline installer for your plug-ins. Look in Settings and you'll see where you can do this. Presumably, if you can download things at all, you have at least one computer that's connected to the Internet. So it should work similarly to the old download manager or maybe better because when you copy the install package to your music computer, it will only have the plug-ins you want to install instead of the whole line. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 They've come a long way from when the installer forced you to install the 32 bit VST2, the 64 bit VST3, the 32 bit VST2, the 64 bit VST3 AND the 64 bit AAX versions. I used to have a whole routine I'd go through after running their installer or A|A|S' or Native Instruments'. A|A|S was the biggest offender, I'm pretty sure it would drop a copy of the VST2's into any folder with the string "VST" in its name. I'm not kidding, either. I eventually wrote them a nice email message pleading with them to stop. I got no reply, but within 6 months they had stopped doing it. Some of Izotope's older installers will even leave you with the 32 bit RTAS versions of their plug-ins installed. The only real benefit (and not everyone sees it as such) of VST3 is that it dictates an install location for the plug-in DLL's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
