Blue Cat’s Stereo Liny EQ Direct X

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.

Allowing you to compare the spectral analysis of several tracks at once, the FreqAnalyst Multi Spectral Analysis Tool Plug-In from Blue Cat Audio gives you the ability to see which parts of the spectrum individual instruments in your mix use. Its Diff view allows you to compare the spectrum of several instances, which can be used for EQ matching or curve response management.

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.

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.
