Blue Cat's Protector is a stereo brickwall limiter plug-in. This plug-in offers very few controls and yet provides a large palette of sounds: from very transparent limiting to hard digital clipping or soft analogue saturation, it can be used as a master limiter, loudness maximizer or distortion unit.
Main features:
- 0 dB stereo brickwall peak limiter and waveshaper.
- Continuous control of the dynamics response from transparent limiting to colorful distortion.
- Stereo link control.
- Large audio levels and gain reduction meters for optimal monitoring.
- Side chaining capability: a unique way to perform side chain compression and much more.
- Plugin window transparency management.
- Smooth Bypass: activate/deactivate the plug-in with absolutely no noise.
- Undo/Redo.
- Import/Export presets and share them between the directX and VST versions.
- Zero latency.

Digital Peak Meter Pro (DPMP) is based on the same principles as the freeware Digital Peak Meter plug-in, but it is much more powerful. You can monitor both the RMS and peak value, thanks to the real time display of the envelopes. You can also record these envelopes as automation curves in your favorite host, as well as the transformed envelopes that you can totally control and monitor with the 'amount' and 'offset' parameters. But this is nothing compared to the real-time MIDI capabilities offered by this plug-in: you can send MIDI CC messages following the envelopes and transformed envelope.... [more]
