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 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."
About Blue Cat's StereoScope Multi
"I haven't seen another plug-in that can visualise a mix in quite this way.[...] It could certainly be useful to check signal flow within a complex stereo effects chain, and as basic stereo meters for use over the master bus, StereoScope Multi and its sister plug-in, StereoScope Pro, offer a nice alternative to conventional designs, with the ability to compare your master to reference tracks."
About Blue Cat's Analysis Pack
"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 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 Destructor
"Destructor is extremely handy for literally any tone you could ever want. [...] From crystal cleans to the most punishing yet articulate hi-gain you could ask for. [...] There simply is no other plugin on the market today that gives you the ability to create and customize tones the way Destructor and Axiom do." - .
About Blue Cat's Chorus
The generous offering of a full range of time based modulators consists of
very basic but powerful and versatile effects. The Blue Cat Chorus for
example, is ALWAYS the first one I try for super rich detuning and haywire
coloured effects, but at the same time, I find it can throw just the right
wisp of mist into a warm string pad.
About Blue Cat's Axiom
"An extremely powerful multi-effects that rewards not only on electric guitars and basses, but also on many other instruments as well as vocals or synthesizer and keyboard sounds" - .
About Blue Cat's Analysis Pack
"Ever wanted to analyse every track in a project at once, or record their dynamic variations as MIDI Controller information? Blue Cat Audio's unusual plug-ins implement some original and very clever features."
"They've got plenty of good ideas, and in the shape of FreqAnalyst Multi they've created a unique tool that's very useful. Serious metering and analysis tools are often very expensive, so the inexpensive nature of these plug-ins makes them all the more welcome." -
About Blue Cat's Protector
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
About Blue Cat's Parametr'EQ
Upon first playing with the plug-in it sounded much like the v2.1 that we had installed. Not much of an audible change was a good thing considering I liked the quality of the ealier version. Next I turned to the Non-Linear and Comp-Dist controls to see if I could dirty up this clean sounding EQ.
I was really impressed with the amount of warmth that could be added with this control coupled with the low shelf.(...)
The limiting and oversampling are also welcome new features. Overall I am excited to work more with this plug-in in a mix. - Daniel Agosto, Media Producer - gearwire.com
