{"product_id":"blue-cat-dynamics","title":"Blue Cat Dynamics","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlue 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-threshold system and provides detailed visual feedback about its behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plug-in includes several filters to control the frequencies affected by the compression. Its continuous VCA\/Opto and Peak\/RMS control let you smoothly and precisely choose the behavior of the envelope detection like you have never been able to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn additional brick wall limiter and clipper with optional lookahead protect the output for complete control over the dynamics response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree different modes are available for external side chaining, using either the external side chain input, MIDI control, or automation lanes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll these features can be controlled from a fully configurable user interface, or from any external controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes a mono and a stereo version for optimal CPU usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are looking for a multiband dynamics processor, check out the Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix plug-in, or Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer that can host this plug-in on multiple bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlue Cat Audio Standards:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in most plug-in formats for Mac and Windows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull MIDI control and automation support, MIDI Learn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo CPU load on idle: processing shuts down when fed with silence (optimal CPU usage).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomizable user interface with transparency \u0026amp; zoom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomation and MIDI output: record output parameters as automation curves or send MIDI CC messages to other plug-ins for powerful side chain effects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth Bypass: noiseless plug-in activation \/ deactivation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUndo\/Redo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull featured integrated presets manager.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopy\/paste the state of the plug-in between instances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny sample rate supported.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVersion 4.42\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdded Apple Silicon support for AAX Plug-in Format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed VST3 version not always loading properly in Ableton Live 11.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved VST parameter value display in some host applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdded an option in global \u0026amp; preset input settings to send MIDI events when MIDI-enabled parameters are modified in the plug-in (to update control surfaces accordingly).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved undo management and automation when using the mouse wheel to move knobs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed VST \u0026amp; VST3 automation not recording properly in some hosts for output parameters (Cubase 11, Ableton Live).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAAX: Fixed erratic mouse behavior in Pro Tools on Mac.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMac: installers and plug-ins have been notarized to avoid security warnings on Mac OS Catalina and newer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindows: Multi monitor High DPI scaling support for high resolution displays (4K monitors, hi-res laptops...) for Windows 10 version 1607 (Anniversary Edition) and newer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMac: Improved Retina display support, with crispier graphics at all resolutions and zoom levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMac: fixed random GUI refresh issues in Reaper on Retina displays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 2em; padding-top: 2em; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; color: #333; font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: disc; padding-left: 1.5em; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003eFull featured dynamics processor: compressor, gate, limiter, expander, waveshaper with a unique two thresholds system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003eTotal control over the processor: continuous peak\/RMS and Opto\/VCA modes selection, peak envelope shape control, depth control to limit the gain range, lookahead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003eTotal control over the signal: dry\/wet control for parallel compression, input and side chain filters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003eStereo or mid-side processing with multiple channels linking options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003ePost brickwall limiter or clipper with lookahead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003eOptimal monitoring: dynamics response, envelopes and gain reduction real time display with zooming capability.
