Blue Cat Audio Updates Dynamics Processing Plugins, With RTAS and 64-bit support

Blue Cat Audio has released a new version of its dynamics processing audio plug-ins, Blue Cat's Dynamics and Blue Cat's Protector.

These new versions add RTAS plug-in format support for Pro Tools (Mac and PC), 64-bit support for DirectX and VST versions under Windows x64, and 64-bit Audio Units support under Mac OS X Snow Leopard (for Logic 9.1 users running in 64-bit mode). These new versions also include several fixes and enhancements such as improved side chain support in Logic Pro.

Blue Cat's Dynamics is an all-in-one dynamics processor that can act as a compressor, expander, limiter, gate or waveshaper. It offers advanced stereo and mid/side modes as well as several envelope detection algorithms. Blue Cat's protector is a brickwall limiter with very simple controls to protect the output of your Digital Audio Workstation or increase the perceived volume of your tracks.

The upgrade to the new version is free for registered users.
