Reverb comes in all forms and flavours and is one of the most used effects in the whole of the audio world. A truly great reverb should sound natural and sit in the mix perfectly whilst not confusing you with over-technical controls and should be set up rather easily. Enter FabFilter’s Pro R.
Make some space
FabFilter Pro-R takes a musical approach to reverb offering you user-friendly, non-technical controls like Brightness, Character and Distance to achieve the reverb sound you are looking for without the need to possess a degree in reverb science beforehand.
Shape the decay time
The decay time of a real room often varies widely 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 offers you complete free adjustment of the decay time over the frequency spectrum. Since it uses parametric EQ bands instead of a traditional crossover system, Pro-R provides you with much more flexibility to shape the decay time characteristics. Together with the integrated 6-band Post-EQ, designing your own unique reverbs in your chosen style or character has never been easier.
FabFilter goodies
Lastly, with FabFilter’s Saturn 2 you get all the usual goodies from FabFilter that include: perfectly tuned knobs, interactive MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample-accurate automation, advanced optimization and much more.
Key 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 colouration, 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 artefacts
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
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
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
Pre-delay control via the bottom bar, ranging from 0 to 500 ms, with optional host tempo sync
Innovative six-band Decay Rate EQ, giving you full control over the decay rate at different frequencies
Six-band Post EQ to equalize the final reverb sound. Together with the Decay Rate EQ, this lets you design reverbs of any style or character
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
Supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces
