Blue Cat Audio is a French audio software company founded by Guillaume Jeulin and headquartered in Paris. Established in 2003, the company develops professional audio plug-ins and applications for music production, mixing, and mastering, supporting VST, VST3, Audio Unit, and AAX formats across macOS and Windows. Blue Cat Audio has earned a reputation in the audio development community for its exceptional cross-format compatibility, and the company also licenses its plug-in SDK to other audio developers.

The product catalog spans a wide range of categories, from analysis and metering tools like FreqAnalyst and StereoScope to creative effects and processing plug-ins such as Late Replies (a delay/reverb workstation), Destructor (distortion and amp modeling), and Axiom (a multi-effects processor for guitar and bass). One of their most well-known products is PatchWork, a universal plug-in patchbay capable of hosting up to 64 plug-ins within a single instance, enabling complex serial and parallel routing inside any DAW. Other notable tools include Plug'n Script, which allows users to create custom audio and MIDI effects through scripting, and MB-7 Mixer, a multiband mixing console with built-in plug-in hosting.

Blue Cat Audio also maintains a generous freeware lineup, including Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Free Amp, FreqAnalyst, Triple EQ, and the Gain Suite, all offered without restrictions. The company's tagline — "Software Made by Musicians for Musicians" — reflects its focus on practical, real-time audio tools designed for working producers, engineers, and musicians.

Blue Cat Audio has 49 products cataloged on Equipboard, including FX Bundle Plugins, EQ Plugins, and Utility Plugins. Their gear is featured by 11 artists, with the strongest followings in Electronic, Rock, and Hip Hop. Notable users include emma essex, Knife Party, and Buster Odeholm.
