Pro-R

Give your music some space

As one of the most used effects in the audio world, reverbs come in all forms and flavors. A great reverb sounds natural and sits in the mix perfectly. At the same time, it should not confuse you with over-technical controls, but must be easy to set up and a joy to work with. Enter FabFilter Pro-R.

FabFilter Pro-R takes a musical approach to reverb, offering user-friendly, 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.

  

Features

• Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiences and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals
• 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
• Stepless Space control, which smartly and smoothly combines the room model and decay time of the reverb. You can choose from over a dozen carefully designed room models and seamlessly vary between them, without hearing clicks or unwanted artifacts
• Decay Rate control, changing the overall decay time from 50% to 200% of the current Space setting
• Intelligent Stereo Width control, ranging from pure mono to true stereo and beyond
• Distance control to adjust the proximity to the sound source in the selected space

• Perfectly tuned Brightness knob, affecting not only overall brightness, but also the decay of high frequencies
• Mix knob with a Lock Mix option, which prevents preset loading from overriding the current mix setting
• Predelay control via the bottom bar, ranging from 0 to 500 ms, with optional host tempo sync

• Real-time spectrum analyzer that also visualizes the decay time at different frequencies
• Full-Screen mode, offering a large analyzer display and Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ controller
• Multiple interface sizes: Medium, Large and Extra Large
• Stereo and mono plug-ins available
