Those that ignore Melda because of the interfaces simply don't deserve Melda.
It's brought up here a lot -Personally I hope they never change a thing. It looks good to me. There is no misleading bullshit, just direct controls with great explanations using the tooltips.
Their MMixingFXBundle+5 or so other plugins was one of my first audio plugin purchases ever and I consider it like quite literally striking gold on the first swing with that one.
Melda really just needs to incorporate a plugin host like BlueCat Patchwork into their plugin environment and they'd be hard to beat, all their plugins are pretty well essentially loaded in the Melda host anyways.
Another thing to mention: I've always got personal responses from Voj anytime I bring anything up over on their KVR subforum. Not many other companies talk in depth and transparently about development with customers like he does.
Lastly, the CPU usage is incredible on most plugins(Spectral tools like MMorph are the exception). I can't explain it fully but from what I have remembered, all Melda plugins share the same core kernel of some sort so they don't need to reload that per every instance. The CPU usage drop when I upgraded recently from V11(or 12) was quite nice.
By the way, for what it's worth. I should mention that I've probably spent more on Melda stuff individually than I would've if I just outright bought the MComplete bundle. Once/year they have the 50% off their bundles sale. I think it just happened recently though in the last few months so it'll be another year of waiting for that.

I'm very glad they allow it to be turned off. I guess for those that mix with their eyes it's nice.I prefer it without the skeuomorphic nonsense.
