Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix Plug-In eLicense
Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix is an extremely powerful all-in-one multiband dynamics processor: it can be used as a multiband compressor, limiter, gate, expander, waveshaper or all combined at once, on any part of the spectrum. The unique dynamics processing section of the Blue Cat's Dynamics plug-in has been streamlined and integrated in this plug-in to process each one of the 5 bands separately.
The plug-in provides unique envelope detection capabilities that let one band trigger the dynamics response on others (internal side-chain). Combined with the advanced stereo features including mid/side processing and independent channels activation, it gives you full control over the dynamics of the signal for a wide range of effects.
An additional brick wall limiter/clipper protects the output for complete control over the dynamics response.
The plug-in provides comprehensive visual feedback to let you know what's exactly going on at every step of the dynamics processor: for each channel, monitor the spectrum, the in/out levels, dynamics response, compression ratio and in/out level of each band...
The user interface has been designed to streamline the workflow, and despite the wide range of functionalities offered by the plug-in, it is extremely easy to use. Inter-bands controls (copy/paste, link...) lets you create complex treatments with a few clicks.
Thanks to its advanced MIDI and automation output capabilities, Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix is capable of advanced side-chaining features: you can control other plug-ins with the output of the dynamics processing stage for simple side chain dynamics effects or more advanced signal-dependent effects.
Main Features:
Full featured multiband dynamics processor: compressor, gate, limiter, expander, waveshaper.
Up to 5 bands, with crossover filters from 6 to 60 dB/Oct for optimal separation.

CableGuys Bundle with Curve 2, FilterShaper, MIDIShaper and VolumeShaper
CableGuys Curve 2 Software Synthesizer with Waveform Editor
Curve is a software synthesizer with an irresistible waveform editor, huge sound library and slick interface.
New 2.6 updates and of course, they are free for owners of Curve 2, FilterShaper 3 or VolumeShaper 4.
It's all about UI and workflow:
They've added a new drawing tool which allows to quickly add steps in the waveform. This is especially useful for drawing melodies in Curve or for creating trance-gate-like effects.
It's now possible to resize the waveform area in all three plugins.
For FilterShaper and VolumeShaper, they've added a running light which shows the position within the audio nicely. Especially for FilterShaper, this is a great feature that provides additional helpful visual control in complex setups, for example when LFO speed is modulated by another LFO or envelope follower.
Waveform points are more clearly visible and buttons are bigger and more responsive.
Feed Curve's oscillators, LFOs and envelopes with custom waveforms. For anything rhythmic from wobbles to FX loops and evolving pads. For broad oscillator timbres from deep basses to shrill, aggressive snarls.
A huge library will get you started, with quality presets by renowned sound designers such as Michael Kastrup, Pluginguru, Myagi, Xenos Soundworks, Soundsdivine, and hidden pearls from the Curve community. The presets are free to use even if you are using the free trial version. No limits!
Curve provides completely new possibilities for experimentation and detailed tweaking, with a simple to use, immediate, slick interface.
Sound Features
Curve features aliasing-free oscillators with custom waveforms, noise generation and broad FM options. Waveform crossfades provide for changing timbres; a comprehensive unison mode delivers fat lead sounds, wide pads and massive sound. Drawable LFOs deliver everything from melodic and rhythmic patterns to dubstep wobbles and punishing bit-crushing effects. Flexible filter routing, a feature-rich mono mode plus legato and glide, are all designed for great depth of control.
Preset Library
Curve's preset library is a shared online database, providing a constant source of inspirational sound. Public preset sharing allows an ever-increasing number of great presets, public preset voting will help you manage the vast number of sounds, all from within the plugin. Curve ships with an excerpt of this ever-growing sound library. Macro knobs let you explore vast sound variations quickly, for quick access to those parameters that define the core of a sound.
Elegant Interface
Curve shows you everything important at a glance, featuring high contrasts and a fresh color scheme. Inbuilt MIDI assignment allows you to set up external MIDI controllers quickly.
FilterShaper 3
FilterShaper 3 takes a giant leap into unconventional sound design with two powerful filters, freely editable modulation curves, and an immensely flexible modulation framework.
The new Sallen-Key type filters deliver a rich, warm, intricate sound. Create complex, shifting, interweaving effects. Apply subtle nuances or giant wobbles. From filtersweeps and stereo tremolo to surgically-precise filter control and dualband sidechain effects.
MIDIShaper
Powered by Curve's unique modulations engine, MidiShaper brings Curve's flexible yet powerful LFOs and envelopes to all your favorite synthesizers and effects.
Four LFOs and four envelope generators work together in a sophisticated modulations matrix that can be set up to output modulated pitch, modwheel, channel aftertouch or any MIDI control messages.
MidiShaper's LFOs can run infinitely or be retriggered, synced to your DAW from a buzzy 1/128 to an expansive 32 bars, set to the played note, or run from 0.02 Hz up to the audible range and brain frequency. Like Curve, MidiShaper features completely editable waveforms for its LFOs.
If your plugin or DAW allows for MIDI control, you have a great tool at hand to create vivid, inspiring sounds and bring the flexibility of Curve to your favorite software plugins, hardware synthesizers, MIDI VJ tools, lighting consoles and 1980's MIDI keyboards.
Routing MidiShaper
MidiShaper outputs MIDI data. Routing MidiShaper to external outboard equipment is simple to do via external MIDI ports.
Using MidiShaper to control software instruments and effects can be relatively simple as in Reaper and Ableton Live, can be complex with pitfalls as in Apple Logic, or might require some special tricks as in Sonar. It all depends on how well the DAW of your choice handles internal MIDI routings and automation.
If you succeed, you'll get super-flexible LFOs and envelopes added to your favorite hardware devices, to your sequencer's controls and to your software synthesizers and effects.
VolumeShaper
VolumeShaper lets you shape the levels of any audio signal in pinpoint detail.
From multiband sidechain compression effects to extreme gating, from tempo-synced stutter to precise sample-shaping — VolumeShaper provides a wealth of creative musical effects with a visual approach to volume.
VolumeShaper features multiband waveform-based editing, a comprehensive selection of preset curves, a precise oscilloscope, a big spectrum view and an updated preset library. It runs sample-accurate in sync with your DAW, in Hz mode up to the audible range or retriggered via MIDI.

They've added a new drawing tool which allows to quickly add steps in the waveform. This is especially useful for drawing melodies in Curve or for creating trance-gate-like effects.
It's now possible to resize the waveform area in all three plugins.
For FilterShaper and VolumeShaper, they've added a running light which shows the position within the audio nicely. Especially for FilterShaper, this is a great feature that provides additional helpful visual control in complex setups, for example when LFO speed is modulated by another LFO or envelope follower.
Waveform points are more clearly visible and buttons are bigger and more responsive.
Unique waveform editing
Draw waveforms with ease and precision. Create smooth bezier curves, peaks, cuts and slopes using soft or hard breakpoints, producing gentle transitions or sharp bends in the waveform. As with all Cableguys plugins, VolumeShaper's waveform editing offers great flexibility and excels the automation functionality of most DAWs.
How to edit a wave:
To create a point, click on a free area.
To delete a point, double-click on it.
To move a point, click on it and drag the mouse.
To temporarily enable/disable snapping, hold SHIFT while moving a point.
To select multiple points at once, hold SHIFT and click and drag the mouse. You can then move and scale the selected points. Hold ALT to move points vertically only.
To change the weight of a point, right-click on it.
To directly create a hard point, CTRL-click on a free area.
Tip: You can also see most of the editing options from within the software when you click the Cableguys logo.
Additional editing functions
A right click on a free area in the waveform opens additional editing options:
Undo+redo, copy+paste, randomization, bypassing the waveform, mirroring of points, and options for the waveform grid and for the oscilloscope. Right-click and choose "Select all" to select all points to easily scale the intensity of the waveform.
Oscilloscope
A sample-accurate oscilloscope displays the incoming and processed audio signal, so you can see exactly where to draw the curve — for faster and more accurate edits. You can enable/disable the left and right channel separately or freeze the oscilloscope in the additional editing menu (right-click in the waveform editor).
Knobs
SHIFT-click on a knob for precise adjustments, CTRL-click on it for setting the default value.
Band split with spectrum
Add a high or low band by moving a split slider to the desired split frequency. You can also change the slope of each filter split from 6db to 12db — this option gets visible when you move the mouse over the spectrum.
To listen only to the output signal of the selected band, just hit the solo button.
The magnifier opens an enlarged window of the spectrum for more detailed settings.
Tip: The exact split frequency is shown in the info box on the bottom of the plugin when you mouse-over a slider.
Waveform buttons
Many standard and often used waveforms are available as presets, including full off and on, in these sections:
Ducking – for sidechain purposes
Trimming – detailed envolope shaping
Rhythmic – to add a rhythm to your clips
Basic – saw, square etc
Local – save a snapshot of the current waveform, which will be saved with the preset. To recall it later, just click on the icon.
Mix knob
Control the overall effect on VolumeShaper.
LFO
This LFO can take you places. Set it free-running, synced to the beat of your sequencer or synced to the frequency of a note you're playing, from long, evolving LFO lengths right up to the audible range.
With the synced modes, the position of the LFO is always synced with the position of the DAW. If you're moving the play position in your DAW, the LFO will adjust its position accordingly.
With the 1-Shot modes, the LFO runs exactly once when VolumeShaper receives a MIDI note, and it will remain at the end value of the waveform (if the waveform ends at the bottom, the volume will stay there, if it ends at the top, the volume will be up).
With Pitch->Rate the LFO speed will be set to the frequency of the note that you play, so it can be used for ring modulation - or to match the speed of the oscilloscope to your notes, which is very useful if you want to monitor a synth for example.
When you route MIDI to VolumeShaper, please use the VST version (not the AU version). Only with VST you can route MIDI directly via your DAW (if your DAW supports this), without the need of virtual MIDI ports.
Note that Ableton Live has a massive bug concerning timing, and all position-synced plugins can suffer from this. For more info on that, see their FAQ page and search for "PDC".
MIDI triggering
VolumeShaper is an audio effect, but can receive MIDI from your host sequencer or any virtual or physical MIDI port, and you can choose to trigger the LFO on any notes or to limit it to a single note.
MIDI triggering is available when you set your LFO to one of the "MIDI Triggered" or "MIDI 1-Shot" modes. Then, click the small option icon in the LFO area.
Extremely useful. For example, set it to retrigger the LFO when you play a note — perfect for defining the volume envelope of your synths and drum players. You can even set the LFO to the frequency of the note that you play.
In most DAWs, it's relatively simple to route MIDI to VolumeShaper for MIDI triggering. But it's tricky to set up in Logic, and so they've solved it for you.
User-friendly design
All the controls are available within a single window, in a clear, neatly-organized design that still looks good after many solid hours in the studio.
Library
The library ships with a selection of useful presets. You can save your own and they will be stored locally on your computer. If you want to, you can sync them to backup them on the Cableguys server, and you can keep them private or share them with others - but it's up to you, Cableguys don't force you to use the online feature.
Parameter automation
From LFO speed to waveform selection, absolutely everything can be automated. You can even automate the shapes of the waveforms and breakpoint movements for dynamic effects.
Exceptional sound quality
VolumeShaper computes the audio at a per-sample basis. Its LFO is sample-accurate and will always stay in sync, even when you make tempo changes in your host software, or jump ahead to different parts of your track.
VolumeShaper 4 is also included in the Cableguys Bundle, along with Curve 2, FilterShaper 3 & MidiShaper. Saves almost 40% off the combined prices of the individual products!

Celemony Melodyne Assistant 5 Pitch and Time Editing Software eLicense
New technologies, for better results in less time. Thanks to the fundamentally improved “Melodic” algorithm, Melodyne makes your vocal editing even better than before. With perfect, natural corrections at the press of a key. Thanks to the Chord Track, you can adapt notes with lightning speed to suit the song – chord recognition included. And with the unique Fade Tool, you can create note-based fades – even in polyphonic recordings and samples.
the ability to edit pitched and noise-like components separately with the “Melodic” algorithm
a more musical analysis of pitch deviations
the Chord Track and Chord Grid for pitch editing, chord recognition
the Fade Tool and Leveling Macro for editing dynamics
an additional algorithm (“Percussive Pitched”) plus other algorithm improvements
search functions for keyboard shortcuts, saving of shortcut sets
Note-based audio editing
Melodyne grants you unrivaled access to all the musical details in your recordings and samples – note by note. This is made possible by a sophisticated analysis that delves deeply into your recordings and samples, and recognizes and understands the musical relationships within them: the individual notes and their characteristics, the scales, keys and chords, the timing, the tempo, the tone color. And with Melodyne you can edit all these things intuitively. With vocals, but every type of instrument as well – including polyphonic ones, such as the piano and guitar.
Notes and tools
In Melodyne, notes are represented by blobs. By manipulating these with Melodyne’s powerful tools, you can edit (among other things) the pitch, vibrato, volume, sibilants, length, timing and formants of each note. In this way, you can enhance in a musical yet straightforward manner the intonation, phrasing, dynamics and timbre of a performance. While ingenious algorithms ensure your editing’s almost always inaudible, sensitive, natural.
Tools and macros. Edit intonation, melody and harmony, but also rhythms and grooves, dynamics, formants and much more. Using intelligent macros or – with great precision – by hand.
Multitrack Note Editing. See and edit the notes of multiple tracks simultaneously in a single window. Only Melodyne makes music this transparent and tangible.
All that counts musically. Melodyne also recognizes chords, keys, tunings and tempos. And the editing functions for these important musical parameters are just as comprehensive as for the notes themselves.
Innovative sound design. Access the overtones of your instruments directly and change their tone color in unique ways. Using an ultra-musical equalizer, resynthesis and morphing.
Compatibility and user-friendliness. Melodyne can be operated via ARA or as a plug-in directly in a DAW. Or even as a stand-alone program. Its flexible interface adapts perfectly to the requirements of each situation.
