Blue Cat's Multi Pack got a good review on designingsound.org:

"The bottom line: the Blue Cat Audio "Multi" Pack is an extremely well thought out set of analysis tools. The level of display customization afforded to the user is beyond anything I've seen before; as is the philosophy behind workflow integration".

Want to know more? You can read the full review here, or try the demo versions of the plug-ins.

Blue Cat's Multi Pack has been granted a "performance award" and was rated 8/10 by Computer Music Magazine.

"The ultimate analysis tools bundle?[...] Blue Cat has made a name for itself producing precise, detailed plugins, and these three fall squarely into that category. At times, the learning curve is steep, but it's richly rewarded, and version 2 certainly improves the user experience.[...] Multi Pack 2 is about as powerful as analysis plugins get, though it might be overkill for some." is their verdict in the January issue.
