Blue Cat Audio Releases Parametr'EQ Series v3.0 and Blue Cat's Master Pack

Blue Cat Audio unleashes Blue Cat's Parametr'EQ series V3.0 and a new mastering bundle named Blue Cat's Master Pack. With a brand new design for both the user interface and the audio engine, this new version of Blue Cat Audio's parametric equalizer plugins for Windows enables Blue Cat Audio to enrich its professional offer. They now propose a complete pack for mastering and mixing purposes.

The Parametr'EQ series offer the best of the analog and digital worlds, including non linear modeling capabilities to provide analog compression and distortion at every EQ stage. The new output peak meter and brickwall limiter are of great help to adjust the output level. These plugins also offer an original and exclusive window opacity feature which let you see through the user interface while adjusting the parameters. The special 'Widening' version provides mid/side channels where you can manage the center position for the M-S matrix, enabling precise positioning of the EQ in the stereo field or multi band stereo widening and narrowing capabilities.

These plugins can be purchased separately, as a bundle, or within the new Blue Cat's Master Pack that includes all necessary tools for mixing and mastering. A demo version of the plugins can be downloaded on Blue Cat Audio's website, and special introduction prices have been setup for this new release (-20%).
