With a background in industrial software engineering, Blue Cat Audio’s founder Guillaume Jeulin understands the importance of stable software. The French company offers professional audio effects, innovative audio analysis tools, and standalone applications that transform Digital Audio Workstations into professional audio processing environments. As an extra arrow in Blue Cat’s quiver, it also offers consulting and engineering services for custom software development, and as such has amassed a variety of customers, ranging from recording studios, universities and recording schools, and home studio owners, to recording engineers, and professional and amateur musicians.

Made famous during the 70s and 80s, the flange effect can be used on almost anything — on drums, vocals, synths, or guitars — and achieves anything from a subtle effect to a metallic effect. Despite the simple user interface, Blue Cat’s Flanger is quite versatile and can generate sounds that go from soft and smooth filtering effects to deep, harsh, and otherworldly ‘vocal’ effects. The stereo version also allows for a smooth transition into a stereo flanging effect with a single ‘Spread’ knob, flipping the sound as it spreads into the stereo field.
