Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer multiband effect plugin updated to v3.1

Blue Cat Audio has released version 3.1 of Blue Cat’s MB-7 Mixer, a new version of the multiband processing plugin with hosting capabilities.

The updated version includes 28 additional built-in audio effects that can be applied to individual frequency bands (in addition to already available third party plugins support) to create all kinds of spectral effects: modulation, compression, distortion, pitch shifting, delays and reverbs.

Dozens of new features and enhancements improving the workflow and performance have also been added to this free update.

Blue Cat’s MB-7 Mixer is a unique plug-in that splits the signal into several frequency bands and lets you mix and process them as if they were separate tracks.
Each band proposes controls that can be found on a mixing console, and more: bypass, mute or solo each band separately to isolate frequencies you want to work on, adjust the gain, the “stereoness” and the position in the stereo field. When manipulating the stereo image, a master mono switch also lets you check mono compatibility.
