Curious about what the world has to say about our software? Take a look at this diverse selection of comments and press reviews from some remarkable individuals who have experienced the magic of our tools!
About Blue Cat's Protector
I tried out the demo and after just a few minutes I went back and bought it!
The Blue Cat Audio stuff is always quality, and the prices are more than reasonable - especially with the discount for being a previous customer!
About Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Multi
"You could use it in a mix, to find out which of your tracks are stepping on each other's frequencies, but the obvious application is for mastering, and I quickly found it very useful for comparing my own mixes with reference material. Four memories are available to capture curves, but it's the ability to see multiple analyses together in real time that really makes this an unusual plug-in."
About Blue Cat's Destructor
"Destructor is extremely handy for literally any tone you could ever want. [...] From crystal cleans to the most punishing yet articulate hi-gain you could ask for. [...] There simply is no other plugin on the market today that gives you the ability to create and customize tones the way Destructor and Axiom do." - .
About Blue Cat's Parametr'EQ
Upon first playing with the plug-in it sounded much like the v2.1 that we had installed. Not much of an audible change was a good thing considering I liked the quality of the ealier version. Next I turned to the Non-Linear and Comp-Dist controls to see if I could dirty up this clean sounding EQ.
I was really impressed with the amount of warmth that could be added with this control coupled with the low shelf.(...)
The limiting and oversampling are also welcome new features. Overall I am excited to work more with this plug-in in a mix.

About Blue Cat's PatchWork
"Having had the pleasure of working with Patchwork and MB-7, I would most assuredly miss them if they were to disappear from my DAW. Enthusiastic thumbs up for both of these gems. Well done, Blue Cat. Very well done indeed!" - - [full review].
About Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix
"Blue Cat Audio’s MB-5 Dynamix plug-in [...] is cleverly designed to be both sonically effective and visually informative, clearly borrowing from lessons learned developing the company’s popular Analysis Pack bundle.[...] A quick glance through the MB-5 Dynamix’s set of features illustrates the intelligent and thorough approach that has been taken in putting this plug-in together.[...] Arguably the most impressive aspect of the MB-5 Dynamix is its ease of use. Pleasingly, this doesn’t mean that there’s any dumbing down of its
features, but instead, it sports a cleverly designed interface that allows you to interact intuitively with each of the bands, as well as keeping a close
eye (and ear) on the compression taking place.[...] The sound of the MB-5 Dynamix is clean, functional and efficient.[...] The MB-5 Dynamix really sets itself apart in respect to its usability. [...] It is a safe and effective tool that will allow you to refine rather than destroy all your finely crafted audio masterpieces."
Rated 9/10 in
About Blue Cat's Protector
Used on the master bus, it catches loud incidental peaks and transparently softens them, preventing nasty digital clipping without the need to turn the volume of your entire project down.[...] But Protector has many other tricks up its sleeve [...]. As a mix effect, Protector has just as many creative uses as it does purely practical ones [...], offering anything from brickwall-style peak limiting to violent waveshaping when used with very fast times. [...]
The Stereo Link control facilitates both linked and unlinked operation, as well as any point in between.[...] The plug-in doesn't introduce latency, and requires an insignificant amount of processor power, so stacking multiple instances is no problem.
All of which means that it's a thumbs up from us.
"Verdict: More than a mere limiter, Protector has quite a range of applications. What's more, it sounds great and is very keenly-priced." -
9/10 rating and performance and value awards granted by Computer Music Magazine (CM), October 2008
About Blue Cat's Gain Suite
The Blue Cat Gain Suite is another staple I use heavily simple gain control
and M/S level manipulation. This group of plugins provide very basic
functions, but have the same level of precise control and configurability
that is a hallmark of other Blue Cat Audio plugins. I literally do not think
of any other plugins when these particular jobs need fixing. Simplicity can
be quite powerful at times.
About Blue Cat's MB Dynamix Pack
"These are precise, almost scientific tools[...]. So, they require time to truly get to grips with. In return, they'll continue to deliver as you explore their depths. [...] Pros: Clever ideas well implemented, Quality multiband processing, MB-7 linking options a nice touch, Cross-band internal sidechaining.
Verdict: 8/10. A super-flexible, great-sounding plug-in combo for the more technically inclined. " -
About Blue Cat's Analysis Pack
"This is a remarkable set of plug-ins. This company impresses me more and more with each update and release. I believe these tools should define the standard for audio analysis. They are totally worth demoing to see if they can be of use to you.[...] I know of no free or payware plugs that achieve some of the unique things these particular analysers can do. [...]"
This company is quickly approaching the pinnacle of digital effects for musicians."
