FabFilter Pro-MB

FabFilter Pro-MB

Powerful and intuitive

In the studio, multiband compression and expansion are powerful tools, but notoriously difficult to set up and control. Enter the FabFilter Pro-MB that makes multiband dynamics processing intuitive yet powerful at the same time.

A new approach

Instead of conventionally splitting the entire spectrum with crossovers, the FabFilter Pro-MB enables you to directly create a new band at the frequency range you want to work on. Think bands, not crossovers. The interactive multiband display clearly shows you that the rest of the spectrum stays untouched. And if desired, you can easily snap bands together to recreate a traditional crossover system.

Lifesaver and timesaver

FabFilter Pro-MB introduces a unique Dynamic Phase processing mode, which has virtually the same frequency response as traditional multiband processing but doesn’t introduce any latency or pre-ringing. The FabFilter Pro-MB only introduces minor phase changes and also includes an excellent Linear Phase mode and a traditional Minimum Phase mode. The powerful combination of high-quality processing, optimised workflow using the interactive multiband display and all the expert features you’ll need, the Pro-MB is both a lifesaver and timesaver in the studio.

FabFilter goodies

Lastly, with FabFilter’s Saturn 2 you get all the usual goodies from FabFilter that include: perfectly tuned knobs, MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an excellent help file with interactive help hints, SSE optimization and much more.

Key Features

• Up to six processing bands, freely placed anywhere in the spectrum
• Bands can be easily snapped together to form a traditional crossover system
• Handles any form of dynamics processing, from highly transparent compression, limiting and expansion to pumping upward compression and punchy gating
• Unique Dynamic Phase processing mode featuring zero latency, no static phase changes and no pre-ringing artefacts
• Excellent Linear Phase processing mode, eliminating audible artefacts when quickly changing crossover frequencies
• Minimum Phase processing mode
• Up to four times linear-phase oversampling
• Fully customizable per band: threshold, range, attack, release, output gain, ratio, variable knee, lookahead (up to 20 ms), variable stereo linking, mid- or side-only processing, external side chain input, triggering on a separate frequency range
• The steepness of each crossover slope can be freely adjusted between 6 dB/oct and 48 dB/oct
• Intelligent, highly program- and frequency-dependent attack and release curves
• Global dry/wet mix from 0% to 200% to easily scale the total effect of the plug-in
