FabFilter Pro-R

FabFilter Pro-R

Natural sound, musical controls

Reverb comes in all forms and flavours and is one of the most used effects in the whole of the audio world. A truly great reverb should sound natural and sit in the mix perfectly whilst not confusing you with over-technical controls and should be set up rather easily. Enter FabFilter’s Pro R.

Make some space

FabFilter Pro-R takes a musical approach to reverb offering you user-friendly, non-technical controls like Brightness, Character and Distance to achieve the reverb sound you are looking for without the need to possess a degree in reverb science beforehand.

Shape the decay time

The decay time of a real room often varies widely 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 offers you complete free adjustment of the decay time over the frequency spectrum. Since it uses parametric EQ bands instead of a traditional crossover system, Pro-R provides you with much more flexibility to shape the decay time characteristics. Together with the integrated 6-band Post-EQ, designing your own unique reverbs in your chosen style or character has never been easier.

FabFilter goodies

Lastly, with FabFilter’s Saturn 2 you get all the usual goodies from FabFilter that include: perfectly tuned knobs, interactive MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample-accurate automation, advanced optimization and much more.

Key Features:

• Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiences and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals
• Carefully developed to easily fit in the mix, without causing undesirable colouration, 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
• 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 artefacts
• Decay Rate control, changing the overall decay time from 50% to 200% of the current Space setting
• Intelligent Stereo Width control, ranging from pure mono to true stereo and beyond
• 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 via the bottom bar, 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
• 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
• Real-time spectrum analyzer that also visualizes the decay time at different frequencies
• Full-Screen mode, offering a large analyzer display and Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ controller
• Multiple interface sizes: Medium, Large and Extra Large
• Stereo and mono plug-ins available
• Supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces
• MIDI Learn
