Full immersive audio support
The FabFilter Pro-R 2 takes your audio experience to the next level with its full immersive audio support. This incredible feature allows you to place reverbs in three-dimensional space, making your sound come alive. With support for immersive channel layouts up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos, you have complete control over the spatial ambience of your mix. The Pro-R 2 automatically configures itself for multichannel formats, ensuring seamless integration into your surround channel setup. Additionally, you can apply individual Decay Rate and Post EQ bands to any combination of channels using the new Speakers panel, giving you unmatched flexibility in shaping your sound. The Surround Settings panel makes it easy to balance the relative levels of every reverb parameter between the front and back of the immersive space, creating a truly immersive audio experience. With its intuitive approach and attention to detail, the Pro-R 2 delivers exceptional results without hindering your creative flow.
All-new vintage and plate reverb styles
The Pro-R 2 expands on its clean and natural sound by introducing two new reverb algorithms: Vintage and Plate. Inspired by classic digital reverb units of the ’80s and ’90s, the Vintage style brings a touch of nostalgia to your mixes. It is perfect for creating long, bright, and hyper-real spatial ambiences that transport listeners to another era. On the other hand, the Plate style captures the evocative metallic sound associated with plate reverbs, making it an ideal choice for enhancing drums and vocals. These two new styles significantly broaden the Pro-R 2's capabilities, allowing you to explore more synthetic and textural territory. Whether you want to add a classic touch or create unique sonic landscapes, the Pro-R 2's Vintage and Plate reverb styles have got you covered.
Impulse Response (IR) import
The Pro-R 2 goes above and beyond by offering the ability to import impulse responses (IRs). This means you can now recreate the characteristics and sonic qualities of any physical environment or favourite hardware reverb within the Pro-R 2 itself. Whether you want to experiment with a vast array of free impulse responses from the internet or capture the unique ambience of a vocal booth or drum room, the IR import feature gives you endless possibilities. The imported IRs are automatically recreated as algorithmic setups, closely matching their original characteristics. This opens up a whole new world of sonic exploration and allows you to truly customize your reverb to suit your specific needs.
Extended reverb parameters and controls
The Pro-R 2 provides you with an extensive range of tools to design your dream reverbs. With the Ducking control, you can set the wet signal level to drop whenever the dry signal is present, ensuring your mix remains balanced and clear. The Thickness knob allows you to dial in density and saturation, adding depth and richness to your reverbs. If you're looking to add rhythmic effects, the Auto Gate feature, which can be tempo-synced, lets you achieve that iconic Phil Collins-like sound. And for those moments when you want to capture and hold the reverb tail indefinitely, simply click the Freeze button. With these enhanced parameters and controls, the Pro-R 2 puts the power of sound shaping in your hands, allowing you to achieve your reverberation goals with ease.
Full-featured preset browser
Navigating and managing presets is now easier than ever with the full-featured preset browser of the Pro-R 2. This streamlined new browser improves upon the simple hierarchical menu of its predecessor, making it effortless to find and organize your presets. With editable tags, you can perform filtered searches based on specific criteria, saving you time and effort. The ability to set presets as favourites enables one-click filtering, making it convenient to access your most frequently used settings. You can also add author names and text descriptions to further customize your browsing experience. Furthermore, if you already have the original Pro-R installed, all its presets will seamlessly integrate into the Pro-R 2's library, giving you an even greater selection of sounds to explore. With the Pro-R 2's full-featured preset browser, managing and finding the perfect reverb settings has never been easier.
