Blue Cat Audio announces Mac plugins availability for Q4 2008 and releases Freeware Pack Public Beta for Mac
Blue Cat Audio has announced the availability of its first Mac audio processing and analysis plugins: the release is scheduled for Q4 2008, together with a massive update of the Windows (DX and VST) versions.
