Blue Cat Audio has launched version 2.0 of MB-5 Dynamix, a new version of the multi-band dynamics processor.
The update comes with a brand new user interface, better control over the dynamics response, external side chain support and many other enhancements.
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.
