Oh wow this looks promising. I just hope it doesn't eat too much CPU with all those visualisations and stuff (or that at least disableing them will reduce CPU load).

 

FabFilter Plug-Ins are one of my preferred.
Solid stuff, easy to use and very useful.
They've become slow with releasing updates, but it also proves that they
are reliable and have no hurry @ all.

 

Pro C was surely lacking in contrast with their other plugins especially with Pro Q2

Edit: Funny their homepage didn't put up the news

 

FabFilter have done it again!! Compressor looks AWESOME!

 

They keep improving interface and processing. Unbelievable!

 

FabFilter pro Q 2 is lighter than v1, let's hope it also for PRO C 2

 

Yes, but the FF Simplon create DC offset when used. They should fix that.

EDIT:
i just send a report to Fabfilter guys, let's hope they fix it.

mmmmm, you know I get hard for a good fabfilter...

 

FabFilter Pro-C 2 has been officially released!

Five brand-new compression styles make FabFilter Pro-C 2 even easier to set up and more effective in common scenarios such as vocal processing, mastering or EDM pumping. It’s like getting five new compressors! Together with an abundance of new features, such as lookahead, range, hold, side-chain EQ, oversampling, and a fully redesigned user interface, FabFilter Pro-C 2 surpasses its predecessor in every way while respecting the original’s transparency and elegance.

Compress with style

FabFilter Pro-C 2 introduces five new, carefully designed compressor algorithms, each with a unique character and feel. Using the Vocal style, getting a lead vocal upfront in your mix is as easy as choosing the right threshold. The Mastering style is designed to be as transparent as possible, while still being able to catch those fast transients. To add a pleasant ‘glue’ to drums or mix buses, the Bus style will work wonders! Finally, the Punch style delivers traditional, analog-like compression behavior, which sounds good on anything, while the Pumping algorithm offers deep and over-the-top pumping — great for drum processing or EDM.


All you need

A rich set of new features offers more control over the compressor’s sound and character. The knee is now freely adjustable from 0 dB up to 72 dB, and the range setting lets you easily limit the maximum amount of gain change. The smooth lookahead (up to 20 ms) and hold settings help you to catch any peak while minimizing distortion. The optional high-quality oversampling (up to 4x) further ensures the most transparent results possible by reducing aliasing. Last but not least, advanced side-chain EQ’ing and M/S processing is easier than ever thanks to FabFilter Pro-C 2’s dedicated side-chain section.


Redesigned interface

The well laid-out, fully-redesigned Retina interface offers insightful metering with real-time displays that will greatly improve workflow. The large animated level/knee display visualizes exactly when, why and how compression is applied to incoming audio. Accurate level meters show the exact peak and loudness values, while the circular side-chain input meter turns finding the perfect threshold setting into a trivial task.
In short, FabFilter Pro-C 2 wraps superb sound quality and an extensive feature set in a polished, timesaving user interface.


Pro-C 2 features

• Eight different compression styles, five of which are new in version 2: Vocal, Mastering, Bus, Punch and Pumping.
• Remarkable Retina interface, with (optional) animated level knee displays and accurate peak/loudness metering.
• Side-chain EQ section, with customizable HP and LP filters, plus an additional freely adjustable filter.
• Program-dependent attack and release curves.
• Smooth Lookahead (up to 20 ms), which can be enabled/disabled to ensure zero-latency processing.

• Auto Release.
• Up to 4x Oversampling.

• Audition Triggering option, which enables users to hear on which parts of the audio FabFilter Pro-C 2 is triggering and how much compression is being applied.
• Multiple interface sizes (Small, Medium, and Large), plus Full Screen mode, offering a large level display and side-chain EQ controller.
• Range setting, which limits the maximum applied gain change.
• Mix setting, which scales the gain change from 0% to 200%.
• Accurate, large level and gain meters, with peak and loudness level visualization (which complies with the Momentary mode of the EBU R128 / ITU-R 1770 standards).

Just watched the video again and will cry myself to sleep tonight unless I can find myself the end of the rainbow before then.

 

This is a great candidate for a my new go-to compressor. Incredibly versatile. Light CPU usage.

 

joined today , one message , and start with something like an warez request . congrats

maybe spend your time before on reading the rules of this board

 

no , because i stay as long as i can on win 8 and didn´t even looked on win10 , why change a system which is working perfect for me ?

otherwise if i would use , i would read this

btw great start on this Forum for you

 

Nice...I wonder if these plugins actually affect each 'sample' in signal or is there a 'one shot' global drop on the signal period...you really can't tell it seems.

 

What did you expect, at audioz he do the same.

@Snill:
You ask if a keygen has been released?
You know that the only team releasing keygens ATM are R2R and HEXWARS, and did you know that they're both releasing internally since some time already, exactly because they were sick of parasites like you begging for stuff everyday on the forums? Yeah, it's exactly people like you who pisses them off mostly.
Do you see any release worth of notice from said two teams in the last times, particularly after they said in nfos they were pissed off of the current situation and sick of sharing their work with greedy selfish leechers just like you?

And still you do all your best to piss em off?

There's no hope really.
Just FYI, teams are now even more pissed off
than they were at the time they wrote those nfos and stopped public release.
They're not even remotely thinking to get back releasing all their works to the masses,
cause at this point there's no doubt, 99% of said masses do not deserve anything.

This plug got out today. Buy it if you need it.

You plagued enough audioz with your idiot requests, please do not start here too.

You have to know that posts like yours here requesting this is the very thing that is causing teams to keep their work internal, not something else. I just want you to be aware of it, personally I don't give a shit if they release internal or not, so it changes nothing to me.

Peace, cL

 

Another very cool surprise here for Studio One users. Accordingly to a KVR forum member named "billcaroll", this new version sends gain reduction info to Studio One, so you can actually see the gain reduction right next to the faders just like you would with Studio One's native comp! Now, this is COOOOOOL!

 

Nice Still can use it in 10.6.8 thanks for the info

 

I can confirm this
