They are quite great.. i wish they had better interface/ i been using them from time to time.. they really sound good.. but i dont like the equalizer.. only the EQ i dislike.. rest is good.. i wish they updated them a bit

the saturn plugin is also great for saturation and distortion
reverb is quite okay.. nothing special for me
de-esser is quite good and timeless delay is great

 

Better interface? What's wrong with an equalizer?

 

I think the interface in fabfilter plugins is purely functional (like everything else about their plugins). They're ment for ease of use and feedback, not to look pretty, and i doubt they'll ever change that. Honestly making the interface prettier would probably make things more confusing.

 

@Kate Middleton, then why not use a different plugin that meets your needs? There's a huge selection available these days.

The reverb and EQ are among the best on the market.

Pseudo-"professional" entitled bullsh1t if you ask me. Tell fabfilter what they should make better for the interface of Pro-Q 4. I am sure they are glad someone finally cares for their problems. :-(((

Facepalm, Mrs. Middleton. Better go care about the kiddies. :-(

 

I get the point about the EQ, I too think it is overrated and other cheaper EQs or these that come with your DAW are sufficient, but their Reverb algorithm in R 2 is so unbelievably smooth. If I had to pick only one regular reverb (not talking about spring reverb or shimmer which it doesnt cover if you don't load external IRs), theirs is the one.
