Blue Cat Audio has announced the release of a new version of Blue Cat's Gain Suite, a freeware gain adjustment plugins package for Windows, including mono, stereo and mid/side DirectX and VST plugins.

This new version allows you to link several instances together to achieve complex mixing and gain adjustment tasks within your Digital Audio Workstation. It also brings many new features such as undo/redo, presets import/export, and window opacity management. The plugins can be automated and controlled by MIDI with advanced response curve settings.

New in Blue Cat's Gain Suite 2.0:

• Link several instances of the same plugin and control several plugins from a single user interface.
• Smooth Bypass: activate/deactivate the plugin with absolutely no noise.
• Undo/Redo.
• Load/Save presets in a host-independant format: you can now share presets between the directX and VST versions.
• Streamlined user interface with new GUI design and Blue Cat's Skinning Language 1.3.3 support:
  • New toolbar to access main functionality.
  • Integrated window opacity support (make the user interface of the plugin transparent).
  • New layout and new look and feel.

The plugins package can be downloaded separately or within Blue Cat's Freeware Pack Bundle.
