Product Detail
Blue Cat's Dynamics is an all - in - one dynamics processor. It can function as a compressor, limiter, gate, expander, waveshaper, or all simultaneously. With a unique two - threshold system, you can fine - tune the dynamics response and get detailed visual feedback. The plug - in has multiple filters to manage the frequencies affected by compression. Its continuous VCA/Opto and Peak/RMS controls allow for precise and smooth selection of envelope detection behavior. It offers advanced stereo features like mid/side processing, various stereo linking options, and the ability to choose affected channels. An extra brick wall limiter and clipper safeguard the output. There are three external sidechaining modes. The configurable visual feedback shows all internal details and can be recorded as automation curves. All features are controllable via a customizable and'skinnable' UI or an external controller. The package includes mono and stereo versions for efficient CPU use. Key features include a full - featured processor with a unique two - threshold system, total control over processing and the signal, stereo or mid - side processing, post - brickwall protection, optimal monitoring, high - quality sound with up to 4x oversampling, multiple sidechaining modes, a fully configurable UI, and zero latency. It adheres to Blue Cat Audio Standards such as native DSP code for great performance, full MIDI control and automation support, no CPU load on idle, a customizable UI with transparency management, automation and MIDI output, smooth bypass, undo/redo, a full - featured presets manager, copy/paste functionality, and support for any sample rate. Plugin formats are available for Mac, 32 - bit Windows, and 64 - bit Windows.
Using Blue Cat's Dynamics is easy. First, decide which function you want to use - like compression, limiting, etc. You can adjust the settings using the unique two - threshold system to get the right dynamics response. The continuous VCA/Opto and Peak/RMS controls let you precisely set the envelope detection. For stereo processing, choose the mid/side mode or other linking options according to your needs. When it comes to sidechaining, select one of the three available modes. The visual feedback helps you understand what's going on inside the plugin. You can record this feedback as automation curves to keep track of signal modifications. You can control all features from the user interface or an external controller. Remember, when the plugin is not in use and fed with silence, it will automatically shut down processing to save CPU. Make sure to use the right plugin format according to your operating system. Keep your system updated to ensure the best performance. If you encounter any issues, check the plugin's presets manager or try the undo/redo function. Also, the smooth bypass feature allows you to turn the plugin on and off without any noise.
