MELD
The deal
$219 at KVR Marketplace (down from $399, 45% off). Deal runs through August 21, 2026.
What it is
MELD by Metric Halo is a comprehensive mix-bus processing plugin built for Dolby Atmos and stereo work. It solves a specific problem: Atmos objects are mixed and delivered discretely rather than summed to a bus, so traditional bus processing doesn't apply cleanly. MELD packs a reorderable signal chain of EQ, dynamics, saturation, and metering into a single plugin instance so engineers can apply cohesive processing across Atmos objects while keeping discrete delivery intact.
Who it's for
Mixing and mastering engineers working in immersive Atmos formats who need consistent tonal and dynamic control across many discrete objects. Also useful for stereo mixers and mastering engineers who want an all-in-one EQ, compression, saturation, and loudness-metering chain without stacking multiple plugins.
Key features
- A 12-band fully parametric EQ with a built-in spectrum analyzer
- A compressor, limiter, and loudness/clipping processor built around LUFS and True Peak metering for streaming compliance
- MixHead tape saturation for analog-style coloration
- Support for 26 virtual busses/groups and channel configurations from mono up to 9.1.6, with shared-sidechain compression across busses and up to 16x oversampling
