Product Description

  • 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. Check out our MB-5 Dynamix Tutorials for more details. 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. Comprehensive 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: Available as: Mac-AAX
  • Mac-AU
  • Mac-RTAS
  • Mac-VST

  • Win x64-DX
  • Win x64-VST. Native DSP code for optimal performance. Full MIDI control and automation support with silent
  • zipper-free parameters update
  • advanced response control and MIDI Learn. 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. Skinnable and customizable user interface with transparency management. 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. System Requirements: Windows An SSE2-enabled processor (Pentium 4 or newer). Microsoft Windows Vista
