FabFilter Pro-C 2 is a professional compressor plug-in designed to meet the needs of demanding engineers. It offers a wide range of compression styles and features that allow you to achieve subtle mastering compression, upfront lead vocals, cohesive drum processing, or powerful EDM pumping effects with precision and style.
The plug-in provides eight different compression styles, including Vocal, Mastering, Bus, Punch, and Pumping. These styles offer distinct sound characteristics to suit various audio sources and desired outcomes. The addition of the Range setting allows you to limit the maximum applied gain change, giving you more control over the compression effect. The Mix setting scales the gain change from 0% to 200%, enabling parallel compression techniques.
FabFilter Pro-C 2 features a beautifully designed Retina interface with animated level/knee displays and accurate peak/loudness metering. The interface provides insightful visual feedback, helping you understand how compression is applied to the incoming audio. The circular side-chain input meter simplifies threshold setting, and the large side-chain EQ controller allows you to filter the trigger signal to your preference.
In addition to its advanced compression capabilities, FabFilter Pro-C 2 offers a range of useful features. It includes intelligent Auto Gain and Auto Release functions, smooth lookahead (up to 20 ms) for latency-free processing, GPU-powered graphics acceleration for efficient performance, and support for MIDI triggering. The plug-in also provides customizable attack and release curves, variable knee settings for precise control over compression characteristics, and stereo and mono processing options.
FabFilter Pro-C 2 supports sample-accurate automation of all parameters, allowing for precise control over compression changes. It offers undo/redo functionality and A/B comparison for easy comparison of settings. The plug-in includes Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth transitions, multiple interface sizes for customized workflow, and an extensive help file with interactive help hints.
