Blue Cat Audio has released free updates for its mixing console software with network connectivity and multi effects processor for guitar and bass, bringing new MIDI control features as well as multiple improvements and fixes, with enhanced performance.
Fader Hub is a virtual mixing console that features a local mixer for an audio interface, and a network mixer to interact with other workstations or musicians across the network. It also provides multitrack recording capabilities with host synchronization when used as a plug-in. Axiom is a all-in-one multi effects processor and amp simulator for guitar and bass offering an infinite number of tones. Both products can load third party plug-ins in addition to their built-in effects.
Changes in Axiom v2.07 and Fader Hub v1.01

- Fixed stereo issues in the audio player when loading mp3 or aiff files on Mac.
- Fixed audio recording issues under very low latencies and high CPU usage.
