The Miaow Wah is a plug-in available in AXIOM, Patchwork, Late Replies & MB7 mixer. This is probably one of the most versatile and complete Wah plug-in on the market thanks to the additional editor which gives you endless filter possibilities and let’s you customize the Wah or auto-filter effect to your needs.
The Miaow Wah comes with tons of presets built after classic Wah pedals, but also brings some unique original FX. Continue reading
Here’s another great built-in plugin, the Harmonizer. Just like most plugins built into AXIOM, you can also find it in Patchwork, Late Replies or the MB7 Mixer.
The difference between this harmonizer and the built-in pitch shifter Continue reading
We are glad to announce that previews of our software are now available with native Apple Silicon ARM support!
So if you are running a new Mac with an M1 processor, you can now choose to run our software natively on the processor (instead of going thru the translation layer called Rosetta 2).
The previews are 64-bit Intel and ARM universal binaries. They will run on Mac OS 10.9 or newer, with either an Intel or ARM processor.
ARM previews are currently available for the following plug-ins / apps:
Follow this tutorial to access the preview downloads. You will find the native ARM installers in the subdirectory named “Apple Silicon“.
Building for ARM means dropping support for Mac OS 10.8 or earlier, as well as dropping 32-bit support. We would like to keep supporting customers using older systems as long as possible. Since newer Macs with Apple Silicon machines have been released very recently, they are not widely used yet.
Also, most host applications are Intel only, so they will load plug-ins as Intel binaries with the Rosetta 2 translator on newer Mac anyways.
But keep in mind that our previews are usually very stable, so you can use them safely on your new (or old) Mac!
Enjoy!
And feel free to send us your feedback about these previews, whether you are running an Apple Silicon or Intel Mac!
As of today, most Blue Cat Audio software supports the new Mac OS 11 Big Sur (details at the end of the article).
The same “security” constraints as for Mac OS 10.15 Catalina apply, though, so there is just an extra step for you to install the software. Continue reading
Axiom has a built-in amp simulator, but did you know that it is also loaded with 10 excellent overdrive and distortion pedals, all based on the acclaimed Destructor technology?
The BCA effect pedals have a particular sound on their own and are not really inspired by other brands’ pedals. Also, if you want to create your own, you can!
Here’s an overview of the characteristics of all these pedals: Continue reading
Did you know that previews of the next releases for most our software is often available on bluecataudio.com?
As a registered customer, if you want to get early access to new features and fixes, it is very easy! Continue reading
Flanger and Phaser are both modulation effects that create deep filters sweeping around the spectrum over time. But they are produced by different means, and they do not sound the same. So what’s the difference between both phasing and flanging?
The effects used here are the built-in Phaser and Flanger plug-ins available in AXIOM, Patchwork, Late Replies & MB7 mixer software. They are very capable plug-ins that can produce both vintage and modern sounds. Continue reading
We had the chance to be invited by Henning Pauly to participate to the 42 Gear Street event in Germany earlier this year (August), despite the pandemic.
It was the opportunity to meet great people (most of them guitar addicts), wear odd face masks, exchange ideas and licks, discover new guitars, and also shoot a couple of videos, demonstrating and discussing our guitar software.
It was definitely worth the 2000 kilometers drive, especially if you consider that all other events in the industry have been cancelled so far. Here are the first videos shot during the event and a couple of pictures to show you the place. Continue reading
So you just got a gorgeous brand new Mac with a Retina display, but it is awfully slow when launching your favorite audio app or plug-ins? Don’t panic, there is a solution! Continue reading
As expected, the 2021 NAMM Show has been canceled, for obvious COVID19-related safety reasons.
While we won’t be able to meet with all of you and demo our new products and updates on the show floor this year (yes there are new products coming!), we’ll keep posting details along the way on our website, forums, social medias, newsletter…
So until shows and gatherings are back (hopefully later in 2021), stay safe online, and keep connected!
