FabFilter Pro-R 2 Reverb Plugin
Natural sound, musical controls As one of the most used effects in the audio world, reverbs come in all forms and flavors. FabFilter Pro-R 2 stands out with stellar sound quality, being able to recreate natural spaces as well as classic vintage and plate reverbs that sit in the mix perfectly. At the same time, our unique interface design with intuitive musical controls make it simply a joy to work with. I believe FabFilter Pro-R is truly ground breaking! You guys have revolutionized audio plugins. I can't wait to see what's next! — Dave Pensado (Grammy Award-winning mix engineer) Make some space FabFilter Pro-R 2 takes a musical approach to reverb, offering user-friendly, non-technical controls like Brightness, Character and Distance to achieve the reverb sound you are looking for — without requiring a degree in reverb science. The stepless Space control lets you fade between dozens of different, carefully tuned room models, automatically choosing a matching decay time for a natural-sounding result. Shape the decay time The decay time of a real room often varies wildly over the frequency spectrum, which is one of the key ingredients of a room's reverb character. To simulate this, the industry-first Decay Rate EQ concept in FabFilter Pro-R 2 offers completely free adjustment of the decay time over the frequency spectrum. Since it uses parametric EQ bands instead of a traditional crossover system, it provides much more flexibility to shape the decay time characteristics. Together with the integrated 6-band Post-EQ, designing reverbs of any style or character has never been easier. Versatility galore New Vintage and Plate algorithms let you recreate classic digital reverb units of the '80s and '90s, as well as the evocative metallic sound of plate reverbs. The Thickness control adds saturation and compression, while the built-in Ducking feature makes it easy to let the reverb blend in with the mix. Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly tuned knobs, interactive MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, and much more. Pro-R sounds awesome and is hugely enjoyable and rewarding to work with.
