Fabfilter Pro-Mb Multiband Compressor and Expander

Fabfilter Pro-Mb Multiband Compressor and Expander

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.

Features:

• Up to six processing bands, freely placed anywhere in the spectrum
• Bands can be easily snapped together to form a traditional crossover system
• Handles any form of dynamics processing, from highly transparent compression, limiting and expansion to pumping upward compression and punchy gating
• 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
• Up to four times linear-phase oversampling
• 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
• Beautiful Retina interface with 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
• High-quality audio processing algorithms with 64-bit internal processing where needed
• Band solo/mute and bypass options
• Precise output metering
• GPU-powered graphics acceleration
• Double-click text entry of parameter values
• Stereo and mono plug-ins available
• Supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces
• MIDI Learn
• Undo/redo and A/B comparison
• Smart Parameter Interpolation
• Sample-accurate automation of all parameters
• Extensive help file with interactive help hints
• Available in VST, VST3, Audio Units, AAX Native and AudioSuite formats
