I have MAutoAlign, doesnt that do the same thing (without the ARA GUI thing I guess)

Correction: it is 19€ but 22$US.

Looks like a good option for the price. But it absolutly needs an ARA compatible DAW. Although,, like Melodyne, ARA is the best way to use these kind of tools.

No, two different uses. MAutoAlign is to correct phase issues, MTrackAlign basically syncs transients of different tracks to correct timing issues.

Also note it is included in these bundles if you happen to have one already:

At last, a really innovative new idea for a plugin! This is very rare, as most plugin providers redo the plugins we have since 15+ years!

I am very excited to test it. I have seen a lot of issues with transient detection in plugins and daws, particularly on non percussion stuff. I hope they do better!

I wouldn't call it all that innovative as a concept.  There are at least two big vocal align plugins that share the same concept.

That said if this does the job in more sources and better not being a new concept simply doesn't matter.

I agree though, anything that isn't a compressor  or eq that solves problems is a welcome addition the the market that is oversaturated with the same thing with a different UI or brand name.  

Thanks to the Melda bundles, I get access to it without even having to think about if it works or not.  😁

That's what I meant with "innovative". But your're right my wording is a bit overdone. 😆

Not sure if you are new with Melda or not, but to re-iterate Brian's point (both above and below), updates to plugins are free for life and if you own a bundle that a new plugin is included with you get those for free (the Complete Bundle includes everything, both past and future). Melda put a lot of forethought into the modularity of their plugins so there is a lot of commonality between them. Cross talk/awareness between plugins exists to a certain level, but that would be awesome if beefed up over time. Some get hung up on the "look" of the GUI, but as far as processing power their plugins are top notch (the fact you only need to buy them once is a huge perk that is very rare in the software industry... making money from onboarding new customers is totally different than milking your loyal base, which tends to be the norm).

My problem with this is I tend to see new things "in passing" but then never delve into them deeply enough to remember what they were. More than once I have had a few months pass before I realized what the new stuff was exactly (shame on me, really).
