"Verdict: More than a mere limiter, Protector has quite a range of applications.
The plug-in doesn't introduce latency, and requires an insignificant amount of processor power, so stacking multiple instances is no problem.Īll of which means that it's a thumbs up from us. The Stereo Link control facilitates both linked and unlinked operation, as well as any point in between. As a mix effect, Protector has just as many creative uses as it does purely practical ones, offering anything from brickwall-style peak limiting to violent waveshaping when used with very fast times. But Protector has many other tricks up its sleeve. Used on the master bus, it catches loud incidental peaks and transparently softens them, preventing nasty digital clipping without the need to turn the volume of your entire project down. For multiband limiting and more, check out Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix If you are looking for a complete dynamics processing solution, you might be interested in the Blue Cat's Dynamics plugin. This unique technique not only lets you do side chain limiting but also parameters modulation: control any parameter of any plugin to create powerful side chain effects in real time.
You can also check in real time the loudness boost obtained with the limiter.īeyond its powerful dynamics processing features, and like most of our plug-ins, Blue Cat's Protector also offers an original side chain capability thanks to its MIDI CC output. Its large colorful peak and RMS meters and its custom dynamics histogram provide premium visual feedback and make it the perfect tool to monitor and control the dynamics on your master buss. Despite its very simple set of controls, it offers a wide range of sounds and it is also suitable as a track limiter for more creative effects such as distortion, pumping or heavy limiting.
