We have just released Blue Cat's DP Meter Pro 4.2, an update for our unique audio metering and side chaining plug-in.
The new version comes with an updated zoomable graphical user interface to improve readability on any type of screen, with built-in brightness control to prevent eye fatigue while checking audio levels. Presets management has also been improved, so that recalling your favorite metering configurations and ballistics settings is much faster. MIDI output is now available for the VST3 plug-in format to create side chain effects via MIDI in recent VST3 hosts. The update contains many other improvements and a few bug fixes (full list below).
Upgrade to the new version is free for existing customers. A special introduction price (20% off) is available until June 1st for new customers: the plug-in joins the "Dynamics Month" on bluecataudio.com, with up to 33% off dynamics processing or analysis plug-in.
Demo versions of the DPMP 4.2 plug-in are available for download on www.bluecataudio.com, in most popular plug-in formats for Mac and PC.
