FabFilter Mastering Bundle Software (Download)

The Pro-MB Software Plug-In from FabFilter is a professional multiband compressor/expander with six processing bands that can be freely placed anywhere in the audio spectrum. It can be used for audio mixing and mastering applications such as studio recording, post production, and more. Instead of conventionally splitting the entire spectrum with crossovers, Pro-MB enables you to create a new band at the frequency range in which you wish to work. The interactive multiband display clearly shows what the rest of the spectrum is which stays untouched, and, if desired, you can snap bands together to recreate a traditional crossover system. Each band is fully customizable with a threshold, range, attack, release, output gain, ratio, variable knee, lookahead, variable stereo linking, mid-or side-only processing, and much more.

The Pro-MB has a Dynamic Phase processing mode that features much of the same frequency response as traditional multiband processors but doesn’t introduce latency or pre-ringing. Additionally, it only introduces minor phase changes when the gain actually changes. Also included are a Linear Phase mode and a Minimum Phase mode. The combination of professional processing with interactive multiband display can help you to optimize your workflow.

The Pro-MB software has comprehensive MIDI specs, including MIDI learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smoother parameter transitions, and supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces. The software also offers an extensive interactive help feature, and AltiVec and SSE optimization. The plug-in is available in VST, VST 3, Audio Units, AAX Native and AudioSuite formats (both 64- and 32-bit), and RTAS (in 32-bit).

The Pro-Q2 EQ Plug-in Software from FabFilter is a production tool to help sculpt and shape audio when creating, editing, mixing and mastering recordings on Mac and Windows computer workstations. It can be used in applications such as recording studios, sound design, film editing, composing, and more. The software features a large interactive EQ display and allows you to create frequency bands where you need them, then select and edit multiple bands at once. It offers features like Spectrum Grab, full screen mode and EQ match that will help speed up your production workflow.

The Pro-Q2 offers features that engineers need, including natural phase modes, mid/side processing, variable stereo placement of EQ bands, an intelligent solo feature, optional auto gain, and a fully customizable spectrum analyzer. In addition you get perfectly tuned knobs, MIDI learn, and smart parameter interpolation for smoother parameter transitions. There is also a help file with interactive help hints. The plug-in is available in VST, VST 3, Audio Units, AAX Native and AudioSuite formats, all in both 64-bit and 32-bit, as well as RTAS in 32-bit only.

The Pro-L 2 Limiter Software Plug-In from FabFilter is a major update to the Pro-L Limiter plug-in. It adds four additional limiting algorithms: Modern for general all-purpose limiting, Aggressive for EDM and rock music, Bus specific for drums and individual track limiting, and Safe, which avoids distortion at all costs. The plug-in works for Mac or Windows computers and can be used for mixing and mastering audio applications such as studio recording, post production, and more.

Combined with true peak metering and extensive loudness metering, it is compliant with the EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770-4, and ATSC A/85 standards. Support for surround audio with flexible channel linking makes FabFilter Pro-L 2 much more versatile in multi-channel scenarios, with up to 32x linear phase oversampling. Other features like a DC offset filter, external side chain triggering for stem mastering, and a unity gain option ensure that Pro-L 2 is a solution to any mastering challenge.

Furthermore, the real-time level display is offered with several display modes, including an infinite mode that shows all audio for an entire session. Significant gain reduction is highlighted with peak labels to give additional insight into the limiting process. The Pro-L2 interface has been carefully redesigned with an optimized workflow. Finally, the plug-in is available in VST, VST3, Audio Units, AAX Native, and AudioSuite formats, in both 64- and 32-bit, as well as RTAS in 32-bit.

The Pro-C 2 from FabFilter is a software compressor with eight different compressor styles and program-dependent attack and release curves. It is used in mixing and mastering audio applications such as studio recording, post production, and more. It features flexible signal routing, as for example, in Expert mode, where external side chain inputs are available, providing a choice of mono, stereo, or mid/side processing with customizable channel linking and routing.

Apart from the classic compressor controls, the plug-in provides smooth lookahead, up to 4x oversampling, intelligent auto-gain and auto-release. A variable knee, hold, range, external side-chain triggering, variable stereo linking and mid/side processing, are all packed in a beautiful Retina user interface. The redesigned interface offers insightful metering and real-time displays for improved workflow, with the large animated level knee display visualizing exactly when, why, and how compression is applied to incoming audio.

Additional features include perfectly tuned knobs, interactive MIDI Learn, and an undo/redo and A/B switch. Smart Parameter Interpolation delivers smooth parameter transitions, while an extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample-accurate automation, advanced optimization and much more, extend the functionality of the plug-in.
