Multiband dynamics processor

Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix is an extremely powerful all-in-one multiband dynamics processor: it can be used as a multiband compressor, limiter, gate, expander, waveshaper or all combined at once, on any part of the spectrum. The unique dynamics processing section of the Blue Cat's Dynamics plug-in has been streamlined and integrated in this plug-in to process each one of the 5 bands separately.

The plug-in provides unique envelope detection capabilities that let one band trigger the dynamics response on others (internal side-chain). Combined with the advanced stereo features including mid/side processing and independent channels activation, it gives you full control over the dynamics of the signal for a wide range of effects.

An additional brick wall limiter/clipper protects the output for complete control over the dynamics response.

The plug-in provides comprehensive visual feedback to let you know what's exactly going on at every step of the dynamics processor: for each channel, monitor the spectrum, the in/out levels, dynamics response, compression ratio and in/out level of each band...

The user interface has been designed to streamline the workflow, and despite the wide range of functionalities offered by the plug-in, it is extremely easy to use. Inter-bands controls (copy/paste, link...) lets you create complex treatments with a few clicks.

Thanks to its advanced MIDI and automation output capabilities, Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix is capable of advanced side-chaining features: you can control other plug-ins with the output of the dynamics processing stage for simple side chain dynamics effects or more advanced signal-dependent effects.

Main Features

Full featured multiband dynamics processor: compressor, gate, limiter, expander, waveshaper.

Up to 5 bands, with crossover filters from 6 to 60 dB/Oct for optimal separation.

Unique envelope routing capability for cross-band dynamics effects (one band may trigger another).

Dry/wet control for parallel processing ("New York Compression").

Stereo or mid-side processing with multiple channels linking options.

Post brickwall limiter or waveshaper.

Complete Visual feedback with real time response curves and levels display.

Easy copy/paste settings between bands.

Side chaining made easy: a unique way to perform multi-band side chain compression, ducking, gating and much more.

Plug-in window transparency management.

No latency.

Blue Cat Audio Standards:

Supported platforms: Mac-AU, Mac-RTAS, Mac-VST, Win-DX, Win-RTAS, Win-VST, Win x64-DX, Win x64-VST

Native DSP code for optimal performance.

Skinnable user interface.

Smooth Update: silent (zipper-free) parameters update.
