Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro (DPMP) is a unique audio analysis tool that combines very flexible and customizable audio meters with advanced side chaining control capabilities thanks to its MIDI and automation outputs.
The metering capabilities of the DPMP plug-in let you control and monitor audio signals exactly the way you want: almost every aspect of the peak, RMS and crest factor meters can be customized. It proposes five different scales by default, including Bob Katz's popularK-System scales(K-12, K-14, K-20), and you can create your own.
Large colored statistics displays following your own scales are included for an overview of a track, while histograms give you a precise measurement of the dynamic range of the track. The graphs show the evolution of the audio envelopes over time, and the mid-side switch lets you verify mono compatibility problems and check the "stereoness" of your audio sources very easily. Whether you are working with mono, stereo or surround tracks, this plug-in will fit into your workflow.
All envelopes (peak, RMS, crest factor...) can be reused for additional monitoring or side chaining purposes: combined together, reversed, modified and recorded as automation curves or sent as MIDI CC messages, they can control other effects in real time.
True dynamic range measurement with levels histograms.
Instant, average and maximum audio levels.
Modular user interface to fit into your workflow, with multiple screen sizes.
Total control over the metering characteristics, including attack/release shape.
Bob Katz's K-System scales support (K-12 / K-14 / K-20 and custom)
Mono, stereo, mid-side or surround analysis.
Record measurements (peak, RMS, crest factor, clip etc.) as automation curves.
Control in real time any MIDI-compatible plug-in or external MIDI device with the generated envelopes thanks to the plugin's MIDI CC output. See theTutorialssection for more examples.
Manage the shape of the output envelope: record reversed envelope, change amount of signal, and offset the generated envelope. This lets you use the plug-in for side chain ducking, compression and much more.
Easy 'stereoness' and phase cancelation measurement.
Blue Cat Audio Standards:
Available in most plug-in formats for Mac and Windows.
Full MIDI control and automation support, MIDI Learn.
No CPU load on idle: processing shuts down when fed with silence (optimal CPU usage).
Customizable user interface with transparency & zoom.
Automation and MIDI output: record output parameters as automation curves or send MIDI CC messages to other plug-ins for powerful side chain effects.
I am using the BR10 to connect my older sub-woofer to my newer wireless 2.0 speakers thereby making it a 2.1 system that works very well. It was simple to set up and is easy to use and provides great sound and extra punch to my music. The app is really good as well and the extra bass function provides some crazy bass out of the sub-woofer if you want to terrorise the dog.
Highly recommend this relatively cheap device that has bridged the gap between my old and new music system.
I recently purchased Pianoteq 8 Standard from Koala Audio and am very happy with the service I received.
I'm loving Pianoteq and took advantage of a recent sale to upgrade to Pianoteq 8 Pro. Again, the service I received from the owner on the phone was first class.
Five stars.
