FabFilter Essentials Bundle Mixing Tools Plug-In Bundle (Download)

The Essentials Bundle from FabFilter brings together a bundle of plug-ins that are indispensable for mixing duties—reverb, EQ, and dynamics.

Make Some Space

FabFilter Pro-R 2 takes a musical approach to reverb, offering user-friendly, non-technical controls like Brightness, Character and Distance to achieve the reverb sound for which you are looking—without requiring a degree in reverb science.The stepless Space control lets you fade between dozens of different, carefully tuned room models, automatically choosing a matching decay time for a natural-sounding result.

Shape the Decay Time

The decay time of a real room often varies wildly over the frequency spectrum, which is one of the key ingredients of a room's reverb character. To simulate this, the industry-first Decay Rate EQ concept in FabFilter Pro-R 2 offers completely free adjustment of the decay time over the frequency spectrum.

Versatility Galore

New Vintage and Plate algorithms let you recreate classic digital reverb units of the '80s and '90s, as well as the evocative metallic sound of plate reverbs. The Thickness control adds saturation and compression, while the built-in Ducking feature makes it easy to let the reverb blend in with the mix.
