FabFilter Pro-R2

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, the unique interface design with intuitive musical controls make it simply a joy to work with.

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

• Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiences and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals
• NEW 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'
• NEW Introducing two brand-new reverb algorithms: Vintage and Plate, recreating classic digital reverbs and the metallic plate sound
• Carefully developed to easily fit in the mix, without causing undesirable coloration, density or phase problems
• Gorgeous Retina interface with large interactive reverb display featuring Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ curves
• Very easy to set up, with user-friendly, non-technical controls
• NEW 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
• NEW Added Thickness, Ducking and Auto Gate controls
  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
• Decay Rate control, changing the overall decay time from 25% to 400% of the current Space setting
• NEW Introducing Freeze button
  Distance control to adjust the proximity to the sound source in the selected space
• Introducing a full-featured preset browser, with support for tags, favorites and easy searching and filtering
• 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
• NEW Added optional Speakers setting for Decay Rate and Post EQ bands in surround/immersive layouts, offering much more control over decay times in a room model
• NEW Added mid/side and L/R options for Post EQ bands
  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
• Predelay 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
• Resizable interface, full screen mode and customizable scaling
• Six-band Post EQ to equalize the final reverb sound. Together with the Decay Rate EQ, this lets you design reverbs of any style or character
• Intelligent Stereo Width control, ranging from pure mono to true stereo and beyond
• NEW Added output level metering and optional piano display scale
  Real-time spectrum analyzer that also visualizes the decay time at different frequencies
• Stereo, mono and immersive/Atmos plug-ins available
• 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
