Blue Cat Audio updates Fader Hub and Axiom

Blue Cat Audio has released free updates for Fader Hub, their mixing console software with network connectivity and Axiom, their multi effects processor for guitar and bass.

This new version of both plug-ins brings new MIDI control features as well as multiple improvements and fixes, with enhanced performance.

Blue Cat's Fader Hub is a virtual mixing console that features a local mixer for an audio interface, and a network mixer to interact with other workstations or musicians across the network. It also provides multitrack recording capabilities with host synchronization when used as a plug-in.

Blue Cat's Axiom is a all-in-one multi effects processor and amp simulator for guitar and bass offering an infinite number of tones. Both products can load third party plug-ins in addition to their built-in effects.

New in both Axiom 2.07 and Fader Hub 1.01:

• Playback, recording and rewind for the application (to synchronize loaded plug-ins) can now be triggered by MIDI.
• Offline rendering support: hosted plug-ins are now notified when the host is rendering offline (non-realtime).
• Fixed stereo issues in the audio player (bluecataudio.com/Blog/tip-of-the-day/loading-backing-tracks-with-axioms-built-in-audio-player) when loading mp3 or aiff files on Mac.
• Fixed audio recording issues under very low latencies and high CPU usage.
• Reduced GPU usage under MacOS Sonoma, now that Apple fixed their initial graphics performance issue (Sonoma 14.3 and newer required).

New in Axiom 2.07:

• Fixed multicore performance issues for Apple Silicon systems (random audio dropouts). More details here: bluecataudio.com/Blog/announcements/realtime-audio-multicore-issues-for-apple-silicon-end-of-the-story
• Improved multicore performance on Intel Macs and Windows PCs.
• Improved audio performance when the application is used as a network server.

New in Fader Hub 1.01:

• Fixed target IP address lost when loading presets while the LLAN Mixer section is locked.
• Fixed displayed name for the plug-in installer on Windows.

Pricing:

• Blue Cat's Fader Hub: 99 EUR or $99.
• Blue Cat's Axiom: 249 EUR or $249.
