FabFilter Pro-L 2 is a professional true peak limiter plug-in that offers a wide range of features for mastering and mixing engineers. It combines transparent sound with maximum loudness and provides extensive metering capabilities to achieve the best possible results.
One of the standout features of Pro-L 2 is its top-class metering, which includes precise true peak level meters and comprehensive loudness metering. It supports standards such as EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770-4, and ATSC A/85, allowing you to ensure compliance with various loudness standards. The unique real-time level display provides valuable visual feedback on peak gain reduction and offers innovative display modes to enhance your monitoring experience.
Pro-L 2 offers a professional feature set, including eight different limiting algorithms, each with its own character and purpose. This allows you to choose the algorithm that best suits your specific audio material and desired outcome. The plug-in also supports true peak limiting, which is crucial for preventing intersample peaks and ensuring accurate peak level control.
The linear-phase oversampling feature, with options for up to 32x oversampling, helps to maintain the audio quality and prevent aliasing artifacts during the limiting process. The output and gain reduction metering is highly accurate and includes true peak metering, providing detailed visual feedback on the dynamics processing.
FabFilter Pro-L 2 includes adjustable meter scales, including support for the K-System, allowing you to customize the metering display to your preferred standards. The plug-in is designed with low CPU usage in mind, ensuring efficient performance even in demanding projects.
Other notable features of Pro-L 2 include separate channel linking for transient and release stages, advanced dithering with three noise shaping algorithms, GPU-powered graphics acceleration for smooth visuals, MIDI Learn for easy control mapping, and Smart Parameter Interpolation for seamless parameter transitions.
The plug-in adapts to stereo, mono, and surround audio formats, including support for Dolby Atmos 7.0.2 and 7.1.2, with flexible surround channel linking. Additional features include an optional DC offset filter, external side chain triggering for stem mastering, unity gain option for listening at the effect's output level, and audition limiting option for comparing input and output signals.
Pro-L 2 provides adjustable look-ahead, attack, and release settings to fine-tune the dynamics processing according to your needs. The plug-in offers an optional compact interface layout for a more streamlined workflow and supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces for hands-on control.
FabFilter Pro-L 2 is available in VST, VST3, Audio Units, AAX Native, and AudioSuite formats, compatible with both 64-bit and 32-bit systems.
