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 Destructor
" [Destructor] is capable of much more than just amp simulation and its range is everything from the gentlest, pleasing "warmification" to brutal audio annihilation.
The shape dynamics control [...] is where Destructor truly shines in relation to most of the competition. [...] This allows for much nuanced distortion design and can contribute to much expressivity in final tone." - - [full review].
About Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Pro
The Blue Cat Frequency Analyst jam packed with different ways to visualize your audio. Sure the standard saying among most sound engineers is "use your ears" but everyone needs a little bit of visual aid. In this case of course it is a lot of visual aid.

About Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro
"The Digital Peak Meter Pro, I quickly discovered, was a "must have" plugin for me.
About Blue Cat's Widening Parametr'EQ
"Blue Cat's range also includes a healthy selection of EQs and filters, and their Widening Parametr'EQ is another mastering tool with a twist. It's a stereo equaliser that operates in M/S mode, allowing you to apply different EQ curves to the Mid and Sides components of the signal before they are matrixed back into conventional stereo. [...] I was surprised at how effective the M/S equalisation can be for opening out a mix. A little high shelving boost and low-frequency cut on the Sides channel only can really make things more expansive, without introducing obvious artifacts or leaving a hollow centre, as some stereo width processors do. Sound-wise, the equalisation is transparent without being thin or unnecessarily clinical, and the width of the parametric bands can be set as low as 0.01 octaves, for surgical tasks such as hum removal."
About Blue Cat's Axiom
"I have had the demo for a couple of days now and in the limited time that I have spent exploring it I have totally lost all my hair through scratching my head in pure awe and amazement. This is most likely the most realistic guitar amp end FX sim that I have encountered. It is so realistic that I don't miss the interaction with tubes/speakers and room acoustics to create and enjoy monstrous sounds. But it also has so much, much more than just that" - - [on YouTube].
About Blue Cat's StereoScope Pro
"Blue Cat Audio's Analysis Pack gives such great visual feedback on my tunes that I'm thinking about ditching the speakers altogether. Its StereoScope in particular is the most intuitive stereo analysis tool I've used"
About Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer
"With Blue Cat Audio's innovative MIDI side-chaining system, the sky's the limit.
[... Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer] might seem an odd idea, but it actually provides alternative ways of implementing a number of fairly common processes.[...] It also has some fresh tricks up its sleeve, and most of these relate to Blue Cat's trademark linking techniques. [...] The possibilities are, quite literally, endless." - [Read Full Review]
About Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer
"Why take five plug-ins into the studio when you could do it all with one? [...]
Verdict: 9/10. A clever and genuinely useful plug-in that combines multiple tools to give you an amazing level of control over almost any aspect of any frequency within a sound. Prefect for mixing or sound shaping. " -
About Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer
"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. " - , reviewed as part of Blue Cat's MB Dynamix Pack.
About Blue Cat's Axiom
"Dans un marché plus que concurrentiel, Blue Cat Audio arrive encore à innover avec cet Axiom, plein de sons pour guitares et basses, entre autres. En combinant un processeur multi-effet et des simulations d’ampli sous la même interface, Axiom pourrait bien devenir l’arme fatale des guitaristes en home-studio et, pourquoi pas, sur scène !." - KR Home Studio - Juin 2018.
