Give Your Music Sone Space.

Natural sound, musical controls

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.

Make some space

FabFilter Pro-R 2 takes a musical approach to reverb, offering userfriendly, non-technical controls like Brightness, Character and Distance to achieve the reverb sound you are looking for —without requiring a degree in reverb science.

The stepless Space control lets you fade between dozens of different, carefully tuned room models, automatically choosing a matching decay time for a natural-sounding result

Shape the decay time

The decay time of a real room often varies wildly 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 2 offers completely free adjustment of the decay time over the frequency spectrum.

Since it uses parametric EQ bands instead of a traditional crossover system, it provides much more flexibility to shape the decay time characteristics. Together with the integrated 6-band Post-EQ, designing reverbs of any style or character has never been easier.

Versatility galore

New Vintage and Plate algorithms let you recreate classic digital reverb units of 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 let the reverb blend in with the mix.

Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly tuned knobs, interactive MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, and much more.

Full immersive audio support

Place reverbs in three-dimensional space with support for immersive channel layouts up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos. Pro-R 2 configures itself for multichannel formats automatically whenever it is added to a surround channel, and individual Decay Rate and Post EQ bands can be applied to any combination of channels using the new Speakers panel. Meanwhile, the new Surround Settings panel provides straightforward controls for balancing the relative levels of every reverb parameter — Predelay, Character, Decay Rate, etc — between the front and back of the immersive space. A massive amount of work has gone into the implementation of surround cross feeding, delivering an exceptionally convincing sense of space; and with its intuitive approach and liberating flexibility, Pro-R 2 yields spectacular results without letting complicated channel routing get in the way of creativity.

Features

• Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiences and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals
• 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'
• Introducing two brand-new reverb algorithms: Vintage and Plate, recreating classic digital reverbs and the metallic plate sound
• Carefully developed to easily fit in the mix, without causing undesirable coloration, 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
• Distance control to adjust the proximity to the sound source in the selected space
• Introducing a full-featured preset browser, with support for tags, favorites and easy searching and filtering
• 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
• 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
• Perfectly tuned Brightness knob, affecting not only overall brightness, but also the decay of high frequencies
