Description
Multiband compression and expansion are powerful tools, but notoriously difficult to set up and control. Enter FabFilter Pro-MB: making multiband dynamics processing intuitive yet powerful at the same time.
FabFilter Pro-MB introduces a unique Dynamic Phase processing mode. It has virtually the same frequency response as traditional multiband processing, but doesn’t introduce latency or pre-ringing, and only introduces minor phase changes when the gain actually changes. Of course, we have also included an excellent Linear Phase mode and a traditional Minimum Phase mode.
The powerful combination of high quality processing, optimized workflow using the interactive multiband display and all the expert features you need, makes Pro-MB both a lifesaver and timesaver!
Features
Up to six processing bands, freely placed anywhere in the spectrum
Bands can be easily snapped together to form a traditional crossover system
Unique Dynamic Phase processing mode featuring zero latency, no static phase changes and no pre-ringing artifacts
Excellent Linear Phase processing mode, eliminating audible artifacts when quickly changing crossover frequencies
Minimum Phase processing mode
Handles any form of dynamics processing, from highly transparent compression, limiting and expansion to pumping upward compression and punchy gating
Fully customizable per band: threshold, range, attack, release, output gain, ratio, variable knee, lookahead (up to 20 ms), variable stereo linking, mid- or side-only processing, external side chain input, triggering on a separate frequency range
Steepness of each crossover slope can be freely adjusted between 6 dB/oct and 48 dB/oct
Intelligent, highly program- and frequency-dependent attack and release curves
Global dry/wet mix from 0% to 200% to easily scale the total effect of the plug-in
Unique interactive multiband display, designed for an optimal workflow
Accurate and smooth real-time frequency analyzer with pre- and post-processing options and ‘freeze’ feature
