FabFilter Pro-R is a high-end reverb plug-in with natural sound, musical controls, and innovations like the unique Decay Rate EQ to shape the reverb's character.
Key Features
Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiences and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals.
Carefully developed to easily fit in the mix, without causing undesirable coloration, density or phase problems.
Gorgeous Retina interface with large interactive reverb display featuring Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ curves.
Very easy to set up, with user-friendly, non-technical controls.
Stepless Space control, which smartly and smoothly combines the room model and decay time of the reverb. You can choose from over a dozen carefully designed room models and seamlessly vary between them, without hearing clicks or unwanted artifacts.
Decay Rate control, changing the overall decay time from 50% to 200% of the current Space setting.
Intelligent Stereo Width control, ranging from pure mono to true stereo and beyond.
Distance control to adjust the proximity to the sound source in the selected space.
The Character control changes the sound from a clean, transparent decay, to a lively reverb with pronounced reflections and echoes, all the way to an over-modulated chorus-like effect.
Perfectly tuned Brightness knob, affecting not only overall brightness, but also the decay of high frequencies.
Mix knob with a Lock Mix option, which prevents preset loading from overriding the current mix setting.
Predelay control via the bottom bar, ranging from 0 to 500 ms, with optional host tempo sync.
Innovative six-band Decay Rate EQ, giving you full control over the decay rate at different frequencies.
Six-band Post EQ to equalize the final reverb sound. Together with the Decay Rate EQ, this lets you design reverbs of any style or character.
Real-time spectrum analyzer that also visualizes the decay time at different frequencies.
Full Screen mode, offering a large analyzer display and Decay Rate EQ and Post EQ controller.
Multiple interface sizes: Medium, Large and Extra Large.
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 (all both 64-bit and 32-bit), as well as RTAS (32-bit only).
Pro-Q 3 adds the ability to switch any of its 24 bands to Dynamic EQ mode, with a simple, elegant workflow: just raise or lower the Dynamic Range ring around the Gain knob to apply smooth compression or expansion to that band. An intelligent algorithm automatically chooses program-dependent attack, release, and knee settings, while the Threshold can be set automatically, according to the input signal level, or manually. And, of course, dynamic EQ bands continue to operate with perfect analogue matching and support Linear Phase mode.
Surround support
Pro-Q 3 works with all major surround formats, up to Dolby Atmos 7.1.2. The plug-in automatically configures itself to the multichannel format of the hosting surround track, and an intuitive selection panel enables EQ adjustment of multiple channels together.
Mid/side processing
Pro-Q has long been able to work its equalisation magic on the mid or side channels in a stereo signal, as well as left and right, and this functionality becomes even more flexible with Pro-Q 3. Each individual band can now be set to process only the Mid, Side, Left, Right, or Stereo channels so that users can get truly surgical with their stereo frequency-shaping on a band-by-band basis.
New filter types
Pro-Q 3 adds to Pro-Q 2’s multitude of filter types with the all-new Flat Tilt shape, applying a flat tilting correction curve to the entire audible spectrum. And for those occasions when even the super-steep 96dB/ octave roll-off slope isn’t precise enough, the Low and High Cut filter types can now be set to Brickwall mode for the ultimate in top/bottom attenuation.
Improved spectrum analyser and Spectrum Grab
Pro-Q 3’s spectrum analyser makes it easier than ever to find and correct problem frequencies in the mix. Activate the new collision detection to view clashes between the source signal and the spectrum of any other Pro-Q 3 instance in the session, and get an instant handle on the most important peaks in Spectrum Grab mode with frequency/note labels.

"It's as simple to use as the most basic reverb plug-in [...] yet has a sound and range that plug-ins with tens of hundreds of editable parameters struggle to match." - Sound On Sound
"FabFilter Pro-Q 2 has one of the best GUIs of any EQ out there and sonically compares to the best." - Dave Pensado (Grammy Award-winning mix engineer)
"The way the Pro-C shows you the compression is ingenious. All of the FabFilter plug-ins seem to be designed to be simple to use and easy to get results while sounding incredible." - Tony Maserati (Grammy Award-winning engineer/producer)
