Blue Cat Audio Master Pack Plug-In Bundle (Download)

Giving you access you multiple metering options including a wide range of customization, the DP Meter Pro Audio Meter and Side-Chaining Plug-In from Blue Cat Audio features peak, RMS, and crest factor meters in addition to side-chaining control capabilities via MIDI and automation outputs. 5 different metering scales, including Bob Katz’s K-System are included by default, with support for creation of your own scales. Your track’s statistics are visualized in colored displays with histograms to track its progress over time.

The DP Meter Pro is compatible with mono, stereo, and surround tracks, and features a mid/side switch to check mono and stereo field compatibility. All envelopes can be reused for monitoring or side-chaining applications, recorded as automation curves, or sent as MIDI CC messages.

Providing multiple dynamics processing options in a single plug-in, the Dynamics All-In-One Dynamics Processing Plug-In from Blue Cat Audio can function as a compressor, limiter, gate, expander, and waveshaper. It features a dual-threshold system that allows for intricate dynamic response control, along with a wet/dry knob that allows for parallel processing without the need for creating auxiliary tracks.

Further control is provided via an input filter as well as a side-chain input for triggered compression or gating, while the selectable VCA/Opto and peak/RMS controls allow you to dictate how the compression will react to your source audio. Additionally, mid/side processing and multiple stereo linking options help you customize the control of stereo material. The plug-in is Mac and Windows compatible and requires VST, AU, RTAS, AAX, or DirectX compatible host software.

With performance that can be switched between multiple detail views and display modes, the FreqAnalyst Pro Spectral Analysis Tool and Automation Generator Plug-In from Blue Cat Audio provides real-time analysis with adjustable attack and release parameters. Additionally, it features output parameters that can generate MIDI CC messages for control of other effects in real time.

The plug-in ‘s precision and rate can be managed by applying an offset or slope to the measured spectrum, while 3 performance modes give you the choice between instant, peak, or average response, depending on your needs. The spectrogram itself can be set to 2D or 3D operation, with the later providing a waterfall mode in display. The display for all modes support zooming, allowing you to hone in on exact areas for critical analysis. The inclusion of 4 memory slots allows you to compare multiple tracks. The plug-in is available in VST, AU, RTAS, AAX, and DirectX formats on Mac and Windows.

Providing equalization with very low latency and no phase distortion, the Liny EQ 8-Band Linear EQ Plug-In from Blue Cat Audio is designed for critical mixing and mastering applications. It features multiple filter shapes allowing for creation of unique EQ curves based on your needs, as well as stereo and mid/size modes. To help create highly accurate EQ curves, the Liny EQ provides you with spectrum analyzer and spectrogram display views. The plug-in supports VST, AU, RTAS, AAX, and DirectX plug-in formats on Mac and Windows.

Giving you access to multiband compression, limiting, gating, and expansion in addition to a waveshaper, the MB-5 Dynamix Multiband Dynamic Processing Plug-In from Blue Cat Audio allows you to use those modules independently or combined, splitting them up between frequency bands if desired. Additionally, internal side-chaining abilities allow you to use parameters from one effect to control parameters of another. For final dynamics control, there is an output brickwall limiter and clipper available.

Visual feedback is provided via input and output level meters for each channel, as well as through a spectral meter. The plug-in also has MIDI and automation output capabilities allowing it to control parameters of other plug-ins. It supports VST, AU, RTAS, AAX, and DirectX formats on Mac and Windows.

Designed to sit on your master bus of your DAW to protect against the occasional level clip, the Protector Brickwall Limiter Plug-In from Blue Cat Audio is capable of limiting your general volume while increasing the perceived loudness of your track thanks to its transparent frequency response. While it is intended for straightforward operation, it is also capable of a range of sounds including creative applications such as distortion, track pumping, or heavy limiting.

The Protector’s interface provides feedback via colored meters with dynamic histograms. A side-chain input allows you to tweak the plug-in’s performance while its MIDI CC output lets you use the Protector to control other effect parameters. It supports VST, AU, RTAS, AAX, and DirectX formats on Mac and Windows.

The StereoScope Pro 3D Stereo Image Analysis Plug-In from Blue Cat Audio is designed for use as a real-time stereo field analyzer and features the ability to display the evolution of your stereo image in either 2D or 3D waterfall views. For precision monitoring, the display can be zoomed in on, while 4 available memory slots allow you to compare multiple tracks. The generated envelope of your stereo track can be used as output MIDI CC data, allowing the StereoScope Pro to be used to control automation on other plug-ins. It supports VST, AU, RTAS, AAX, and DirectX formats on Mac and Windows.
