FabFilter Pro-G is a versatile gate/expander plug-in that offers a wide range of features and precise control over the side chain and channel linking. It is an essential tool for mixing and live situations, providing excellent algorithms, flexible routing options, comprehensive metering, and a well-designed interface.
One of the standout features of Pro-G is its six meticulously tuned expander/gate algorithms, including options for upward expansion and ducking. This allows you to achieve precise control over the dynamics of your audio, whether you need to tighten up a drum kit, eliminate unwanted background noise, or create rhythmic gating effects. The program-dependent attack and release curves ensure natural and musical results.
Pro-G offers flexible side chain routing options, allowing you to choose between mono, stereo, or mid/side processing. In expert mode, you have access to an external side chain input with customizable channel linking and routing, giving you advanced control over the gating or expansion behavior. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications and creative uses.
The plug-in provides clear and precise metering, combining smart input/output level meters with a real-time level display and transfer curve. This comprehensive metering system gives you immediate visual feedback on the gate/expander settings and processing, allowing you to make informed adjustments and achieve the desired results with ease.
FabFilter Pro-G includes the usual FabFilter goodies, such as perfectly tuned knobs, MIDI Learn for effortless control mapping, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, and SSE optimization for efficient CPU usage.
Additional features of Pro-G include up to four times linear-phase oversampling for high-quality processing, zero-latency operation mode, MIDI triggering for opening the gate/expander with a MIDI keyboard, separate dry/wet level settings, adjustable range, hold time, and knee settings. The plug-in also supports look-ahead time of up to 10 ms for anticipating and processing audio events accurately.
Pro-G offers stereo and mono plug-in versions, supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces, and provides undo/redo and A/B comparison functionality. It supports sample-accurate automation of all parameters, ensuring precise control over the gating or expansion effect. The extensive help file assists with any questions or guidance you may need.
