Blue Cat's Analysis Pack - Audio Analysis Tools and Audio to MIDI Plugins Bundle (VST, AU, VST3)

About Blue Cat's Analysis Pack

Blue Cat's Analysis Pack was granted the 2011 Innovation Award by Audiofanzine

"Indépendamment des qualités propres des plugs, à savoir précision, ergonomie, richesse de fonctionnalités, de modes d’analyse, de choix de représentation graphique [...], ce sont bien évidemment les fonctionnalités de side chaining, la possibilité de littéralement transformer l’audio analysé en informations de commande Midi et/ou Automation, ainsi que la très utile fonction d’affichage de multiples courbes dans les versions Multi [...] qui font tout le sel des plug-ins d’analyse signés Blue Cat Audio.

D’autre part, la majorité des plugs équivalents inclus dans Logic [...] ne peuvent rivaliser en termes de précision [...], de réglages ou de qualité d’affichage.

La réponse à la question : "cela vaut-il le coup d’investir dans un tel bundle, alors que ma DAW inclut déjà des outils similaires?" sera donc : oui.[...]

Bref, avec ces plugs utiles, inventifs, innovants, offrant des fonctions inédites, l’éditeur a parfaitement réussi son coup. Bravo." - audiofanzine.fr (France) [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 Re-Head - Head Response Simulator for Headphones (VST, VST3, AAX and Audio Unit Plug-in)

About Blue Cat's Re-Head

"If you do a lot of recording while wearing headphones, you might want to check it out. If you are a guitarist, in particular, you might especially be receptive to this software, plus the several other first-rate guitar-oriented plug-ins in the Blue Cat Audio catalog." - SoundBytes - [full review].


Blue Cat's Gain Suite - Simple Mono, Stereo and Mid-Side MIDI Controllable Gain Plug-ins (VST, AU, VST3, AAX) (Freeware)

About Blue Cat's Gain Suite

The Blue Cat Gain Suite is another staple I use heavily simple gain control and M/S level manipulation. This group of plugins provide very basic functions, but have the same level of precise control and configurability that is a hallmark of other Blue Cat Audio plugins. I literally do not think of any other plugins when these particular jobs need fixing. Simplicity can be quite powerful at times. - Max Debutante


Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer - Multi Band Mixing Plug-in and VST/VST3/AU Host

About Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer

Blue Cat's MB Dynamix Pack was granted the Performance Award by Computer Music Magazine"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. " - Computer Music Magazine - October 2011, reviewed as part of Blue Cat's MB Dynamix Pack.
