Blue Cat's Protector - Brickwall Limiter Plug-in (VST, AU, AAX, VST3)

About Blue Cat's Protector

Blue Cat's Protector was granted the Performance and Value awards by Computer Music Magazine

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 - www.computermusic.co.uk - [read review on musicradar]

Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer - Multi Band Mixing Plug-in and VST/VST3/AU Host

About Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer

Blue Cat's MB Dynamix Pack was granted the Performance Award by Computer Music Magazine"It’s simple enough in concept, but factor in band-specific panning, stereo width, mute, bypass and solo, and you’ve got a powerful mastering and manipulation tool. [...]

In use, the MB-7 shows itself to be part mastering tool and part creative plug-in, particularly when you combine reverse linking of bands with some automation. But we found it particularly good for controlling the stereo width for specific frequency ranges on a multitude of stereo sources including drum kits, piano,strings and full mixes. This allowed us to make our sounds more expansive in the mid and high frequencies while retaining low-end cohesion. Equally, if you’ve time to kill, MB-7 can do a fair job of isolating sounds in mixed sources. [...]

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. " - Computer Music Magazine - October 2011, reviewed as part of Blue Cat's MB Dynamix Pack.


Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Multi - Real Time Multi Tracks Spectrum Analyzer (AU, VST, AAX and VST3 Plug-in)

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." - Sound On Sound Magazine - May 2008


Blue Cat's Plug'n Script - Scriptable audio / MIDI effects processor and virtual instrument

About Blue Cat's Plug'n Script

"Plug'n Script is a very original and powerful piece of software. A simple and intuitive interface, which actually opens a full world of experimentation. Very convenient to prototype new signal processing ideas in seconds. The example scripts are a mine of information, both for audio programmers and beginners. A unique and extremely powerful plugin!" - Charles Verron, Founder - www.noisemakers.fr.


Blue Cat's Analysis Pack - Audio Analysis Tools and Audio to MIDI Plugins Bundle (VST, AU, VST3)

About Blue Cat's Analysis Pack

[Translated from French]: "Regardless of the qualities of the plugs-ins, namely accuracy, usability, richness of features, analysis modes, graphical representation options, it is obviously the side chaining features, the ability to literally transform the audio signal into Midi control information and / or Automation, and the very useful feature to display multiple curves in the Multi versions that do all the salt Blue Cat audio's analysis plug-ins.

Further more, the majority of equivalent plug-ins included in Logic cannot compete in terms of accuracy, settings or display quality.

The answer to the question: "is it worth the blow to invest in such a bundle, while my DAW already includes similar tools?" is yes.

In short, with these useful, inventive, and innovative plug-ins offering completely new features, the publisher has pulled it off perfectly. Congrats." - audiofanzine.fr (France) [Read Full Translated Review]
