MCabinet

MCabinet is a revolutionary cabinet simulator mainly for guitars and bass, but can be a great creative sound design tool as well.

Instead of thousands of IR files it lets you focus on the sound itself and gets you a virtually infinite number of cabinets!

Great sound, simple controls, creative results

A cabinet is an essential part of the guitar sound. Professional guitarists are usually either using physical cabinets, or bought thousands of impulse response files of these cabinets. In either case it is an extremely clumsy hit and miss process. MCabinet is based on statistical analysis of these real cabinets.

It lets you start with a profile of thousands of these IRs and start being creative from there. It provides 4 so-called resonators, which can give your new cabinet a unique tonal or resonant character, and 2 wideners, which provide a natural stereo widening and potentially a little ambience. Finally, MCabinet lets you post-process your new cabinet using simple knobs such as flattening or tilt. And there’s a dynamic equalizer as a cherry on top, just in case.

Exporting IR is a piece of cake

Just in case you want to use your new cabinet using a HW amp simulator, which allows loading an IR file, MCabinet can do that with a few clicks.

How about some creative sound design?

MCabinet is mainly designed for guitar and bass cabinets, but it can actually work with just about any kind of sound. You can analyze a profile of any set of samples and see where it gets you. Or you can use a flat profile and exploit the resonators and wideners on any audio you want. It’s the creativity that matters these days!

MeldaProduction goodies

As always you’ll find the standard MeldaProduction features: 16x upsampling, M/S, surround support as well as other channel modes, AGC, A-H presets for easy comparisons, and our easy to use integrated help system.

Modulators

MCabinet provides 4 fully-featured modulators which can control any set of parameters including other modulators. Each modulator works as an LFO, level follower, midi/audio triggered ADSR enveloper, randomizer or pitch detector, or even a combination and can listen to the plugin’s side-chain. You can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. You can make various parameters depend on the input (or the sidechain) level or even listen to the input pitch.

MIDI controllers with MIDI learn

MCabinet contains a powerful MIDI processor, which listen to MIDI controllers and MIDI keyboard and control any parameters realtime.

Automatic gain compensation (AGC)

Most plugins change loudness of the output audio, which makes browsing presets inconvenient, not mentioning randomization. MCabinet includes automatic gain compensation, which quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better in cases it is just louder.

Unique visualisation engine with classic meters and time graphs

Your ears should always be the main tool, but they are not the only way to judge your audio. Visual aids can be incredibly useful for a variety of reasons. Melda’s comprehensive metering system is extremely flexible and delivers you accurate information when you need it.

From classic meters to time-based graphs, you will see important visual feedback including; Input, Output, Stereo width, Loudness, Waveforms, Bands, Gain reduction and Sidechain, and some plugin dependent meters.
