Blue Cat Audio Updates Parametr’EQ Series To Version 3.0 & Master Pack Bundle
Blue Cat Audio has updated their Parametr’EQ Series to version 3.0. The new version features a brand new audio engine and user interface, and includes non linear modeling capabilities to provide analog compression and distortion at every EQ stage. Blue Cat also dropped their new Master Pack, a bundle of mastering plug-ins.
Blue Cat claims the Parametr’EQ Series offers the best of the analog and digital worlds. These plug-ins offer several new capabilities including a window opacity feature which lets you see through the user interface while adjusting the parameters, and a new output peak meter and brickwall limiter. The special ‘Widening’ version provides mid/side channels where you can manage the center position for the M-S matrix, enabling precise positioning of the EQ in the stereo field or multi band stereo widening and narrowing capabilities.
These plug-ins can be purchased separately, as a Blue Cat’s Parametr’EQ Pack bundle, or within the new Blue Cat’s Master Pack that includes all necessary tools for mixing and mastering.
