The Blue Cat MB-7 Mixer is an advanced multiband mixing console and VST/AU host, designed to give you complete control over audio frequencies. Each band operates like a traditional mixing console with additional features, such as bypass, mute, solo, gain adjustment, stereo imaging control, and mono compatibility checking.
Apply different audio effects to each band independently, using either your favorite VST, VST3, or AU plug-ins or one of the 30 built-in effects. With up to four plug-ins per band, you can host and process up to 28 built-in effects including EQ, filters, modulation, and dynamics processing tools. Additional key features include latency compensation, presets management, undo/redo, and plug-in bypass for streamlined workflow.
Thanks to its multi-instance technology, you can link and group bands either within a single instance or across multiple instances on different tracks. This enables easy control over multiple tracks with a single fader, perfect for balancing or blending complex audio projects.
For full visual feedback, the MB-7 Mixer offers spectrum monitoring, input/output level visualization, and real-time frequency response curves. Combined with its advanced MIDI and automation input features, this plug-in is a powerful tool for side-chaining, spectral manipulation, and much more.
