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. 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.
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 makes it simply a joy to work with.
New Features:
•Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiances and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals
•Full immersive / Dolby Atmos® functionality, with channel layouts up to 9.1.6. A lot of time has been spent to implement surround cross-feeding, resulting in an exceptionally convincing 'sense of space'
•Introducing two brand-new reverb algorithms: Vintage and Plate, recreating classic digital reverbs and the metallic plate sound
•Added output level metering and optional piano display scale
•Introducing Impulse Response import. You can now import IR files, which will be analyzed by Pro-R 2 and converted to reverb settings, decay rate, and output EQ to match the sound of the IR as well as possible
•Added Thickness, Ducking, and Auto Gate controls
•Introducing Freeze button
•Added optional Speaker setting for Decay Rate and Post EQ bands in surround/immersive layouts, offering much more control over decay times in a room model
•Added mid/side and L/R options for Post EQ bands
Improved Features:
•Gorgeous Retina interface with large interactive reverb display featuring Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ curves
•Introducing a full-featured preset browser, with support for tags, favorites, and easy searching and filtering
•Stereo, mono, and immersive/Atmos® plug-ins are available
•Resizable interface, full-screen mode, and customizable scaling
•Decay Rate control, changing the overall decay time from 25% to 400% of the current Space setting
Key Features:
•Carefully developed to easily fit in the mix, without causing undesirable coloration, density or phase problems
•Very easy to set up, with user-friendly, non-technical controls
•Distance control to adjust the proximity to the sound source in the selected space
•The Character control changes the sound from a clean, transparent decay, to a lively reverb with pronounced reflections and echoes, all the way to an over-modulated chorus-like effect
•Perfectly tuned Brightness knob, affecting not only overall brightness but also the decay of high frequencies
•Mix knob with a Lock Mix option, which prevents preset loading from overriding the current mix setting
•Pre-delay control, ranging from 0 to 500 ms, with optional host tempo sync
•Innovative six-band Decay Rate EQ, giving you full control over the decay rate at different frequencies
•Stepless Space control, which smartly and smoothly combines the room model and decay time of the reverb. You can choose from over a dozen carefully designed room models and seamlessly vary between them, without hearing clicks or unwanted artifacts
•Six-band Post EQ to equalize the final reverb sound.
•Intelligent Stereo Width control, ranging from pure mono to true stereo and beyond
•Real-time spectrum analyzer that also visualizes the decay time at different frequencies
•Supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces
•MIDI Learn
•Undo/redo and A/B comparison
•Smart Parameter Interpolation
•Sample-accurate automation of all parameters
•Extensive help file with interactive help hints
•Available in VST, VST3, Audio Units, AAX Native and AudioSuite formats on Windows and macOS, as well as AUv3 for iPad
