FabFilter - Pro-R2

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-R2.

Pro-R sounds awesome and is hugely enjoyable and rewarding to work with. Verdict: 9/10!

Make some space

FabFilter Pro-R2 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.

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-R2 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.

FabFilter goodies

Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly tuned knobs, interactiveMIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help filewith interactive help hints, sample-accurate automation, advanced optimization and much more.

FabFilter Pro-R2 Key Features

• 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
• 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
• Predelay 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
