The FabFilter Pro-R 2 takes a musical approach to reverb, offering easy-to-use controls like brightness, character, and distance to get the reverb sound you're looking for - without requiring a degree in reverb science.
Continuous space control lets you fade between dozens of different, carefully tuned room models, automatically choosing a corresponding decay time for a natural-sounding result.
The FabFilter Pro-R 2 stands out for its stellar sound quality, being able to recreate natural spaces as well as classic vintage and plate reverbs that fit perfectly into the mix. At the same time, our unique interface design with intuitive music controls makes it simply a pleasure to work with.
Shape the decay time
The decay time of a real room often varies greatly across the frequency spectrum, which is one of the main 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 across the frequency spectrum.
Since it uses parametric EQ bands instead of a traditional crossover system, it provides much more flexibility in shaping decay time characteristics. Together with the built-in 6-band Post-EQ, it's never been easier to design reverbs of any style or character.
Versatility galore
New Vintage and Plate algorithms allow you to recreate classic digital reverb units from 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 blend reverb into the mix.
Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter advantages: perfectly tuned buttons, interactive MIDI Learn, intelligent parameter interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help tips, and much more.
Main features
Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small spaces and rooms to large concert halls and enormous cathedrals
NEW – Fully immersive/Dolby Atmos® functionality, with channel layouts up to 9.1.6. A lot of time was spent implementing surround crossover power, resulting in a “spacey feel”
NEW – Introducing two new reverb algorithms: Vintage and Plate, recreating classic digital reverbs and the metal plate sound
Carefully designed to fit easily into the mix without causing unwanted coloring, density or phase issues
IMPROVED – Beautiful interface with large interactive reverb display with Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ curves
Very easy to set up, with easy-to-use, non-technical controls
NEW – Introducing impulse response import. You can now import IR files, which will be analyzed by Pro-R 2 and converted into reverb, decay ratio and output equalizer settings to match the IR sound as best as possible.
NEW – Added Thickness, Ducking and Auto Gate controls
Stepless Space control, which intelligently and smoothly combines the room model and the reverb decay time. You can choose from over a dozen carefully designed room models and switch seamlessly between them without hearing unwanted clicks or artifacts
IMPROVED – Decay Rate control, changing the overall decay time from 25% to 400% of the current space setting
NEW – Introducing the Freeze button
Distance control to adjust the proximity of the sound source in the selected space
IMPROVED – Introducing a full preset browser with support for tags, favorites, and easy search and filtering
The Character control changes the sound from a clean, transparent decay to a lively reverb with reflections and echoes, all the way to a super-modulated chorus-like effect
NEW – Added optional speaker configuration for Decay Rate and Post EQ bands in surround/immersive layouts, giving you 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 the overall brightness but also the drop of high frequencies
Mix button with Lock Mix option, which prevents loading presets from overwriting the current mix setting
Pre-delay control, ranging from 0 to 500 ms, with optional host time synchronization
Innovative six-band decay ratio equalizer, offering full control over the decay ratio at different frequencies
IMPROVED – 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 allows you to create reverbs of any style or characteristics
Intelligent stereo width control, ranging from pure mono to true stereo and more
NEW – Added output level metering and optional piano display scale
Real-time spectrum analyzer that also visualizes decay time at different frequencies
IMPROVED – Stereo, mono and immersive/Atmos® plug-ins available
Supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces
