FabFilter has expanded it 'Pro' range of mixing plug-ins with Pro-G, a feature-packed VST/AU/RTAS noise gate/expander. The interface is in line with FabFilter's other Pro-series plug-ins, with undo/redo, pop-up help balloons, well-categorised presets and A/B comparison.
Pros:
- Slick interface.
- Configurable for all mixing occasions.
- Excellent selectable Styles.
- Upward expansion option.
- Lookahead mode.
Cons:
- Can't monitor gated signal.
- Can't force gate to stay closed via MIDI.
- Awkward stereo mixing/routing knobs.
Verdict:
Minor operational grumbles aside, Pro-G is a golden gate indeed. Anyone working with recorded material needs to try it.
Rating: 4.5/5
