<h3>Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro</h3>Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro (DPMP) is a unique audio analysis tool: it 
combines very flexible and customizable audio meters with advanced side 
chaining control capabilities thanks to its MIDI and automation outputs.
 The metering capabilities of the DPMP plug-in let you control and 
monitor audio signals exactly the way you want: almost every aspect of 
the peak, RMS and crest factor meters can be customized. It proposes 
five different scales by default, including Bob Katz's popular K-System 
scales (K-12, K-14, K-20), and you can create your own.  Large colored 
statistics displays following your own scales are included for an 
overview of a track, while histograms give you a precise measurement of 
the dynamic range of the track. The graphs show the evolution of the 
audio envelopes over time, and the mid-side switch lets you verify mono 
compatibility problems and check the "stereoness" of your audio sources 
very easily. Whether you are working with mono, stereo or surround 
tracks, this plug-in will fit into your workflow. All envelopes (peak, 
RMS, crest factor...) can be reused for additional monitoring or side 
chaining purposes: combined together, reversed, modified and recorded as
 automation curves or sent as MIDI CC messages, they can control other 
effects in real time. The DP Meter Pro Tutorials explain how to use 
these unique capabilities in your favorite host. Possibilities are 
endless, from voice over and ducking to side chain compression, multiple
 tracks monitoring or dynamic stereo enhancement. It is also possible to
 control external MIDI hardware (such a synths, MIDI effects), video 
effects or lighting systems with an audio signal.<br /><br />

you use the plug-in for side chain ducking, compression and much more.</li><li>Easy 'stereoness' and phase cancelation measurement.</li></ul> <br /><h3>Blue Cat's Dynamics </h3>Blue Cat's Dynamics is a full featured dynamics processor: it can be used as a compressor, limiter, gate, expander, waveshaper or all at once! The dynamics response of the plug-in can be tweaked with a unique two-thresholds system, and provides detailed visual feedback about its behavior. The plug-in includes several filters to control the frequencies affected by the compression. Its continuous VCA/Opto and Peak/RMS controls let you smoothly and precisely choose the behavior of the envelope detection like you have never been able to. The plug-in also provides advanced stereo features, with mid/side processing capability, multiple stereo linking options and the ability to choose the channels affected by the processor. An additional brick wall limiter and clipper protects the output for complete control over the dynamics response. Three different modes are available for external side chaining, using either the external side chain input, MIDI control or automation lanes.  The configurable visual feedback shows every detail of what is going on inside the plug-in. You can also record this information as automation curves, to monitor the modifications applied to the signal on top of the audio representation of your favorite host application. All these features can be controlled from a fully configurable and "skinnable" user interface, or from any external controller.<br />The package includes a mono and a stereo version for optimal CPU usage.<br /><br /><h4>Features</h4><ul><li>Full featured dynamics processor: compressor, gate, limiter, expander, waveshaper with a unique two thresholds system.</li><li>Total control over the processor: continuous peak/RMS and Opto/VCA

<h3>Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Multi</h3>
Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Multi is a unique multiple tracks real time 
spectrum analyzer: it lets you visualize the spectral content of several
 audio tracks on the same screen with extreme smoothness and high 
resolution, for both time and frequency. It is the ideal solution for 
mixing: you can use it as a frequency overlap detector and actually see 
which part of the spectrum every single instrument uses. It is now also 
possible to easily compare the spectrum of several instances (for EQ 
matching or response curve measurement) thanks to the new 'Diff' view 
which displays the difference between several curves. Just like 
with Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Pro plug-in, the frequency analysis can be 
fine tuned in details, and three modes are offered for each channel: 
instant, peak or average response of several audio tracks can be 
displayed on the same graph (the plugin supports up to 16 curves). 
Zooming capabilities and coordinates display let you exactly measure the
 characteristics of the spectrum for each audio track. Thanks to the 
advanced routing capabilities you can define different settings for each
 track and thus adapt the analysis for each audio signal you want to 
analyze. Our multiple tracks tutorial shows you how simple multiple 
tracks spectrum analysis can be. The four memory slots let you 
store any curve in memory: it helps you make comparisons between several
 setups or portions of your audio project very easily. Thanks to 
included window opacity management feature and advanced layout 
customization capabilities, you can adapt the plug-in user interface to 
your personal needs and enhance your workflow. It is also possible to 
create a completely custom user interface using Blue Cat's skinning 
language. <br /><br />

<br /><br /><h3>Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer</h3>Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer is a unique plug-in that splits the signal into several frequency bands and lets you mix and process them as if they were separate tracks. Each band proposes controls that can be found on a mixing console, and more: bypass, mute or solo each band separately to isolate frequencies you want to work on, adjust the gain, the "stereoness" and the position in the stereo field. When manipulating the stereo image, a master mono switch also lets you check mono compatibility. The plug-in can also operate as a multiband VST, VST3 and Audio Unit host: you can process each band independently with your favorite VST, VST3 or Audio Unit plug-ins! Up to four plug-ins can be loaded on each band, pre or post fader. Latency compensation, presets management, undo/redo integration, and individual plug-in bypass are included for optimal operation. The plug-in also proposes unique linking and grouping options thanks to our multi-instances technology. You can link bands together within a single instance or between several instances of the plug-in on different tracks. This lets a simple fader control as many bands on as many tracks as you want. This is particularly useful when adjusting the placement or the balance of several competing tracks. And as usual with Blue Cat Audio, the plug-in provides comprehensive visual feedback to let you know what's exactly going on: for each channel, monitor the spectrum, the in/out levels and the frequency response. Thanks to its advanced MIDI and automation input capabilities, when combined with our other plug-ins, Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer is capable of advanced side-chaining features that really unveils its potential. Check out our MB-7 Mixer Tutorials for more details. <br /><br />

The plugin offers stereo or mid-side channels waveform extraction as well as several synchronization modes. The zooming and precise measurement capabilities let you analyze the waveforms in details, and the XY phase scope view will help you track phase issues within an effect chain or while recording with multiple microphones. The additional histogram display complements the toolset to check the distribution of the values in the waveform and get an idea of the average peak level. The four memory slots let you store any waveform in memory: it helps you make comparisons between several setups or portions of your audio project very easily. Thanks to Blue Cat's skinning language support and the included window opacity management feature, you can adapt the plug-in user interface to your personal needs and enhance your workflow<br /><br />

It is possible to chain effects in series or create up to 8 parallel chains that can be activated independently. This lets you create your favorite effects or instruments configurations within the plug-in, without the need for multiple busses. These configurations can be saved as presets and recalled instantly, or shared with multiple DAWs, using any plug-in format (full list below). Despite the name, you can forget about wires or cables: configuring plug-ins routing is as simple as adding or removing a row or a column in the rack's matrix. All plug-ins can also communicate with each other or with the host application using the virtual MIDI ports offered by the plug-in. For each plug-in slot, latency compensation, presets management, undo/redo integration, audio i/o selection and individual plug-in bypass are included for optimal operation. The plug-in also stores the position of the window for each plug-in so that the layout is restored with your session or saved with presets.<br /> Also, sub plug-ins can be automated or controlled with external control surfaces using Blue Cat's PatchWork parameters mapping capabilities. This product is available as an audio plug-in (effect or a virtual instrument) and standalone application, so that it can used alone or inserted on any type of track in your favorite DAW, with up to 16 audio channels. Input and output level meters are also available to monitor the signal that is dispatched to inserted plug-ins, including side chain and aux channels.<br /><br />

With this plug-in, you can write your own effects with very little knowledge about programming: no need to invest time and money to learn all these plug-in formats, they are all supported here already! If you do not care about programming, Blue Cat's Plug'n Script can also be used as a regular processor with existing scripts or to get someone else write this very particular effect you have been searching for years and cannot find anywhere. It is also possible for audio software companies to use this plug-in to quickly prototype algorithms and reduce the time required to develop audio products: writing and testing scripts is lightning fast! This plug-in has been in our lab for several years and has been used to prototype lots of our existing plug-ins. It supports both scripts distributed as source code and pre-compiled binary scripts. For source scripts, it uses the high performance AngelScript scripting engine, originally developed for video games, with a JIT compiler that helps compiling scripts into machine code for optimal performance. Starting with version 2, the plug-in also supports native (compiled) code and can load binary scripts built from C or C++ (or any language that can export C functions), using the same interface as the angelscript version. The syntax of the AngelScript language is close to Java, C#, C++ or JavaScript, making it very easy to learn. It is also convenient to reuse your scripts into native code, or integrate code snippets found on the web into your script. Also, switching between angelscript and binary versions of the same script is very easy, requiring very few changes. The plug-in includes dozens of audio and MIDI processing scripts as well as several virtual instruments and utilities to enhance your workflow. They can be used as is, or as examples to get started to write your own scripts. User scripts can be shared in the scripts repository, which also includes the factory scripts and native projects for reference.<br /><br />Note: on Mac, the factory native scripts require Mac OSX 10.7 or newer.<br /><br />
<h4>Features</h4><ul><li>Audio and MIDI scripting plug-in.</li><li>Build your own Audio and MIDI effects or virtual instruments.</li><li>Simple scripting syntax, using either the AngelScript language (similar to C++, Java or javascript) or C/C++ for native code.</li><li>Native binary scripts support (compiled C or C++).</li><li>The user interface adapts to scripts automatically. Build your own using Blue Cat's KUIML language.</li><li>Up to 48 input parameters and 32 outputs, with full MIDI and automation control.</li><li>Use your favorite Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for editing.</li><li>Integrated JIT (Just In Time) compiler for optimal performance (scripts are not interpreted but compiled).</li><li>Includes
 55 scripts with source code and 132 presets for sound synthesis, MIDI 
FX, audio FX (comp, gate, tremolo echo, filters, looper...), waveform 
generation, file playback/recording and more.</li><li>Side chain input and auxiliary outputs support.</li><li>Surround support (up to 8 audio channels). </li></ul><br /><h3>Blue Cat's Remote Control </h3> Blue Cat's Remote Control is a set of plug-ins which let you control and monitor in real time several MIDI controllable plug-ins or devices from a single customizable user interface: the user interface of your favorite DirectX or VST plugin does not satisfy you? Your favorite hardware device is too complicated to control? Your project contains hundreds of plug-ins and you would like to control them all from a single user interface? You want undo/redo for all your modifications? This product was designed for you. The package includes 3 plug-ins: Remote Control 16, 32 and 64, which have the ability to manage up to 16, 32 or 64 parameters. You can assign a MIDI channel and CC number to each controller, customize its response curve. You can as well choose a skin that suits your needs for every instance of the remote control (several skins are included in the package, see the screenshots), or create your own (see the Skins section): this is the best way to create your own user interface to control your entire Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) the way you have chosen. If you have a very specific project and you do not have time to spend on our Skinning Language, Blue Cat Audio can also create custom skins for you: see our Consulting page for more information. Another way to use the product is for MIDI control remapping and transform: assign an input parameter a given MIDI CC, and assign the associated output parameter to another MIDI CC with different response curve parameters: the plug-in will remap the controller to the new CC and channel with a new response curve. <br /><br />
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul><li>Virtual MIDI control surface and monitoring tool.</li><li>Control or monitor in real time any MIDI-controllable plug-in or external MIDI device.</li><li>Customize the controls response curve with advanced settings.</li><li>Create your own Digital Workstation controller thanks to Blue Cat's Skinning Language.</li><li>MIDI learn.</li><li>Full automation support.</li><li>DirectX and VST formats.</li><li>Undo/Redo.</li><li>Load and Save presets in a host independent format.</li></ul><br /><h3>Blue Cat's StereoScope Multi</h3>Blue Cat's StereoScope Multi is a unique tool to compare the stereo image of several tracks in real time. It is the ideal solution for mixing: you can actually see which part of the stereo field every single instrument uses. It can also be used to analyze an effect chain and see how audio effects influence the stereo image of your content. This plug-in is based on the same stereo analysis algorithms as Blue Cat's StereoScope Pro analysis plug-in, and the instant, peak or average responses of several audio tracks can be displayed on the same graph (the plug-in supports up to 16 curves). The same zooming capabilities and coordinates display let you exactly measure the characteristics of the stereo image for each audio track. The advanced routing capabilities let you define different settings for each track, and thus adapt the parameters for each audio signal you want to analyze. Our multiple tracks audio analysis tutorial shows you how to use this multitrack analysis feature. Thanks to Blue Cat's skinning language support and the included window opacity management feature, you can adapt the plug-in user interface to your personal needs and enhance your workflow. <br /><br />
