Blue Cat Audio Releases Massive Update For All Its Plug-Ins And Applications
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Paris, France, 2024/09/09: Blue Cat Audio ( http://www.bluecataudio.com ) has released free updates for all its 32 audio plug-ins and applications, including 8 free plug-ins.

Blue Cat Audio's plug-in line offers unique creative tools for mixing or mastering engineers, sound designers, guitar & bass players or virtual instruments lovers: all of them have been updated today.

These updates mainly contain multi-monitor Hi DPI scaling support for Windows and improved Retina display support for Mac with crispier images display on high resolution screens (details here: https://www.bluecataudio.com/Blog/tip-of-the-day/hidpi-retina-display-support-why-do-you-care/), as well as a couple of other fixes and improvements depending on the plug-ins as detailed below.

This occasion is also the opportunity for Blue Cat Audio to launch "Back To School" special offers, with up to 33% off until September 30th, exclusively on their website. Demo versions can be downloaded on www.bluecataudio.com, in most popular plug-in formats for Mac and PC.

What's New for All Plug-Ins:
- Windows: Multi monitor High DPI scaling support for high resolution displays (4K monitors, hi-res laptops…) for Windows 10 version 1607 (Anniversary Edition) and newer.
- Mac: Improved Retina display support, with crispier graphics at all resolutions and zoom levels.
- Mac: fixed random GUI refresh issues in Reaper on Retina displays.

What’s New For Plug-in Hosts (PatchWork, Axiom, Fader Hub, MB-7 Mixer & Late Replies):
- Auto Scale option for third party plug-ins that do not support HiDPI on Windows.
- New option to disable “suspend processing on silence” for plug-ins that do not report tail size properly (such as Valhalla plug-ins).
- Fixed a potential issue with VST3 plug-ins using unicode characters in parameter names and values.
- Fixed a crash with some VST3 plug-ins requiring inputParameterChanges (such as Martinic plug-ins).
- Fixed crash on Apple Silicon and wrong preset names on other platforms when loading VST3 plug-ins that define presets without names (such as FabFilter plug-ins).
- Fixed minor memory leak when using oversampling for plug-ins.

What’s New For Plug’n Script:
- Fixed potential problems with other plug-ins changing locale settings in non-GUI threads.
- Fixed input strings names reset to default when using angelscript for DSP (native was fine).
- Fixed exported plug-ins creating a “Plug’n Script” folder in the user’s documents folder.
- Other minor bug fixes.

System requirements:
- Apple Silicon or Intel Mac running Mac OS 10.9 or newer.
- PC running Windows Vista or newer.
