Blue Cat Audio MB-5 Dynamix Multiband Dynamic Processing Software Plug-In, Electronic Download

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.

• 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
• 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

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.
