Blue Cat's Dynamics - Compressor, Gate, Limiter, Expander, Waveshaper (VST, AU, RTAS, DX) About Blue Cat's Dynamics
Blue Cat's Dynamics was granted the Performance and Value awards by Computer Music Magazine

"[Blue Cat's] Dynamics 3 is the latest incarnation of Blue Cat Audio's multitalented dynamics plugin [...]. On the face of it it's all pretty standard stuff, but scratch the surface and there are plenty of subtle features that makes Dynamics 3 stand out.[...] All told, Blue Cat's Dynamics 3 is an excellent plug-in for a reasonable price." - 8/10 rating and performance and value awards granted by Computer Music Magazine (CM) - August 2009 - computermusic.co.uk

Blue Cat's Parametr'EQ Pack - Professional Parametric Equalizer Plug-ins Bundle (VST, AU, RTAS, DX) About Blue Cat's Parametr'EQ Pack

These EQs sound really good. Really.

With oversampling engaged this might be my favorite hishelf boost on any software EQ I've tried. I've found myself getting away with doing boosts I'd never have expected to even attempt with other EQ's and having them sound great with the parametric EQ.

Oh and the skin opacity? How awesome is that feature? I never even released how useful a feature like that could even be until I started using it.

These are great EQ's! - Christopher Reis


Blue Cat's Remote Control - virtual MIDI Control Surface (VST, AU, RTAS, DX) About Blue Cat's Remote Control

"The Remote Control plugins [are] fantastic for DAW workstation control.[...] The possibilities are really almost endless and this makes it another one of my favorite plugins of the [All Plugins Pack] bundle." - Glen Heffner, CakewalkNet [Read full review]


Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro - Peak, RMS, Crest factor and Dynamic Range Monitoring, with MIDI CC or Automation Generation About Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro

Peak Meter...A multitude of uses: for those of you who can't immediately think of too many useful things for peak meter - and initially it didn't make me go "wow" either...but as I sat and pondered it dawned on me what an absolute gem Peak Meter can be - invaluable even:

Make a dynamic reverb out of an ordinary one / Filtering - endless possibilities when applied to filter cutoff / It makes almost a modular synth out of even the most ordinary one / it's the most useable and simplistic gate that anyone who's even a complete beginner can use / Dynamics weirdness / Make a frequency conscious compressor without using a compressor / Kick/bassline ducker too.[...]

The possibilities of Peak Meter are endless, and incredibly useful. It could turn into one of my most used plugins I think...thanks! - Alex Bowers, quoted from this forum thread.


Blue Cat's Flanger - Classic Flanging Effect Audio Plug-in (VST, AU, RTAS, AAX, DirectX) (Freeware) About Blue Cat's Flanger

The Blue Cat Flanger and Blue Cat Phaser are capable of a wealth of sound variations that belies their simple looking interfaces. - Max Debutante


Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix - The All-in-One Multiband Dynamics Processor About Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix

"As most know, I'm a multiband compressor junkie! From my first review, the MB-5 Dynamix has to be the most complex multi I have seen in regards to the overall control on each band. Based off of the quality and performce of the other Blue Cat plug-ins I own, the MB-5 Dynamix will probably turn out to be my go-to multi-comp.

Prefer the MB-5 Dynamix over the UA Precision Multiband: I'm finding that I can push the MB-5 Dynamix a little harder before I get the artifacts and the additional parameters allows for extensive tweaking.

Comparisons between MB-5 Dynamix and iZotope's MultiBand Compressor: iZotope has been my first go-to for multi-comp's. MB-5 Dynamix beats it out. I really like having that extra band in the MB-5 Dynamix and the ability to select the crossover slope for each band is a major plus. Oh, and I have only touched the surface of what the MB-5 Dynamix can do.

[...] I have stopped doing comparisons with the MB-5 Dynamix and my other multi-band compressors. It's not worth the time. The MB-5 Dynamix is just better. I started experimenting with the "Cross-Band Side Chaining" function. Wow, talk about a serious!" - Byron Santo, bassist, producer and author (www.byronsanto.com).


Blue Cat's Dynamics - Compressor, Gate, Limiter, Expander, Waveshaper (VST, AU, RTAS, DX) About Blue Cat's Dynamics

"No CPU load on idle channel is fantastic: I find that the feature by which the CPU load of the Dynamics plug-in (and I believe all BCA plugins) decreases to zero when the inputs are idle is just great. This simplifies quite a bit the CPU management strategy in a live setup whereby I do not have to worry about shutting down this particular effect when it is not being used.[...]

After using it for a while it becomes so natural that I wondered if all effects are like this...I tested a few others and no way, there does not seem to be many out there with that particular feature. Very nice touch. - Patrick Cournoyer. [Read full comment]


Blue Cat's Dynamics - Compressor, Gate, Limiter, Expander, Waveshaper (VST, AU, RTAS, DX) About Blue Cat's Dynamics

"Blue Cat's Dynamics is a very well-specified compander which, with the exception of multi-band capability, offers just about every form of dynamics processing there is, including simulated VCA and opto compression, true downward expansion, gating and limiting. [...] Its strongest suit, to my mind, is the ability to apply both conventional compression and downward expansion at the same time, which is useful if, for example, you have a recording with a wide dynamic range and a lot of background noise.[...] For the price this is a versatile and powerful Swiss Army Knife of dynamics plug-ins." - Sound On Sound Magazine - May 2008


Blue Cat's Chorus - Smooth Chorus Effect (AU, VST, RTAS, AAX and DX Plug-in) (Freeware) About Blue Cat's Chorus

"Looking very much as if it were inspired by Eventide Clockworks' 1970s effects, this terrific freebie comes in a wide variety of plug-in formats and provides a terrific-sounding chorus with a reserved but flexible smattering of controls. A random mode generates presets if you're not inclined to set them up yourself, and both mono and stereo versions are included." - Computer Music Specials [excerpt on musicradar.com]
