    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).

    Here and there.
    FabFilter Plug-Ins are one of my preferred. :chilling:
    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

    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.

    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.

    i love it, how fast the FF guys go with their releases, if they only would release a reverb or some granular pitch tool, i would buy it.
    i am not the type of user needing another compressor next to the ones ableton provides already (i simplified myself).
    but ther other 2 ideas could be really more creative in ableton ...

    so lets see what they have planned for the future.
    the compressor looks like a piece of art still ...

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

    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!
