Blue Cat's Dynamics is a complete dynamics effect processor: it can be used as a compressor, limiter, gate, expander or even waveshaper for distortion. You can manage the dynamics response of the plug-in with a unique two-thresholds system. The plug-in includes an input filter as well as a side chain filter, in order to control the frequencies affected by the compression. Its continuous VCA/Opto and Peak/RMS controls let you smoothly and precisely choose the behavior of the envelope detection like you have never been able to.

Main Features:

• Full featured dynamics processor: compressor, gate, limiter, expander, waveshaper.
• Total control over the processor: continuous peak/RMS and Opto/VCA modes selection.
• Total control over the signal: dry/wet control for parallel compression, input and side chain filters.
• Stereo or mid-side processing with multiple channels linking options.
• Post brickwall limiter or waveshaper.
• Optimal monitoring: dynamics response and input/output envelopes real time display with zooming capability, the main compression information can be recorded as automation curves.
• Best quality: up to 4x oversampling for the best sounding quality.
• Side chaining made easy: a unique way to perform side chain compression, ducking, gating and much more.
• Multiple skins included for optimal user experience.
• Plugin window transparency management.
• No latency.

Blue Cat Audio Standards:

• Supported platforms: Mac-AU, Mac-VST, Windows-DX, Windows-VST.
• Native DSP code for optimal performance.
• Skinnable user interface.
• Smooth Update: silent (zipper-free) parameters update.
• Full automation support (all parameters can be automated, with smooth and continuous update)
• No CPU load on idle: when the plug-in is fed with silence, the processing smoothly shuts down, to optimize the CPU usage of your Digital Audio Workstation.
• Real time MIDI control with advanced settings (MIDI channel and CC numbers, with complete response curve control) and MIDI learn.
• Automation and MIDI output: record output parameters as automation curves or send MIDI CC messages to other plug-ins for powerful side chain effects.
• Smooth Bypass: activate/deactivate the plug-in with absolutely no noise.
• Undo/Redo.
• Import/Export presets in a host independent format.
• Any sample rate supported.
