Blue Cat Audio happy to announce the release of their audio analysis plugins for the Mac platform in Audio Unit format.

These audio analysis plugins offering original interaction capabilities are available as a single bundle (Blue Cat’s Analysis Pack) or separately. The bundle consists in a versatile audio level meter, spectrum and stereo field analyzers as well as a multiple tracks oscilloscope. While the “Multi” series propose simultaneous multiple tracks analysis with multiple instances linking support, the “Pro” series let you extract parameters from the incoming audio signal and record them asautomation curves or send them as MIDI CC messages. Typical applications are the creation of unique side chaining effects or external signal based hardware control.

To celebrate the support of this new format, we propose a 15% price reduction on the Blue Cat’s Analysis Pack bundle, and a free upgrade for existing customers. Demo versions and available for download on www.bluecataudio.com and our site offers many tutorials to get you started with these plugins.
