Paris, France, 2019/04/25: Blue Cat Audio ( http://www.bluecataudio.com ) has released Blue Cat's Protector 2.2, a new version of their brickwall limiter plug-in and launches "Dynamics Month" promotions on their recently updated dynamics processors.
With a brand new user interface (fully zoomable), lookahead support, new factory presets and many other new features and enhancements (full change list below), this new version offers a streamlined limiting experience and greatly improves the result of brickwall limiting on the master buss. It can now also be used on any individual track, supporting both stereo and mono signals.
Upgrade to the new version is free for existing customers and can be downloaded from the link received by email upon purchase. A special introduction price (20% off the plug-in) is available until May 25th.
At this occasion, Blue Cat Audio launches a special promotion (up to 33% off) on all its recently updated dynamics processors during the "Dynamics Month": the Protector limiter, the all-in-one Dynamics plug-in, the multiband MB-5 Dynamix plug-in and the Energy Pack bundle. Existing customers should receive extra discounts by email. Demo versions of all plug-ins are available for download on www.bluecataudio.com, in most popular plug-in formats for Mac and PC.
