FabFilter has announced the release of a major update of its high-end reverb effect plugin. Pro-R 2 comes with many new features and improvements, including new Vintage and Plate styles, full surround / Dolby Atmos support, ducking 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 make it simply a joy to work with.
Changes in Pro-R 2
- 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’.
- 2 brand-new reverb algorithms: Vintage and Plate, recreating classic digital reverbs and the metallic plate sound.
- Retina interface with large interactive reverb display featuring Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ curves.
- Full-featured preset browser, with support for tags, favorites and easy searching and filtering.
- 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.
- Added mid/side and L/R options for Post EQ bands.
- Resizable interface, full screen mode and customizable scaling.
- 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.
- Decay Rate control, changing the overall decay time from 25% to 400% of the current Space setting.
- Freeze button.
- Added output level metering and optional piano display scale.
- Stereo, mono and immersive/Atmos plugins available.
Pro-R 2 for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available to purchase for 169 USD/EUR at Plugin Boutique, ADSR Sounds, and from the FabFilter store.
It is also included in various bundles, and users of the original Pro-R can upgrade at a discount.
