Give Your Music Sone Space
Natural sound, musical controls
As one of the most used effects in the audio world, reverbs come in all forms and flavors. FabFilter Pro-R 2 stands out with stellar sound quality, being able to recreate natural spaces as well as classic vintage and plate reverbs that sit in the mix perfectly. At the same time, our unique interface design with intuitive musical controls make it simply a joy to work with.
Make some space
FabFilter Pro-R 2 takes a musical approach to reverb, offering userfriendly, non-technical
controls like Brightness, Character and Distance to achieve the reverb sound you are looking for —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.
Since it uses parametric EQ bands instead of a traditional crossover system, it provides much more flexibility to shape the decay time characteristics. Together with the integrated 6-band Post-EQ, designing reverbs of any style or character has never been easier.
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.
Of course, you also get all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly tuned knobs, interactive MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, and much more.
Full immersive audio support
Place reverbs in three-dimensional space with support for immersive channel layouts up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos. Pro-R 2 configures itself for multichannel formats automatically whenever it is added to a surround channel, and individual Decay Rate and Post EQ bands can be applied to any combination of channels using the new Speakers panel. Meanwhile, the new Surround Settings panel provides straightforward controls for balancing the relative levels of every reverb parameter — Predelay, Character, Decay Rate, etc — between the front and back of the immersive space. A massive amount of work has gone into the implementation of surround cross feeding, delivering an exceptionally convincing sense of space; and with its intuitive approach and liberating flexibility, Pro-R 2 yields spectacular results without letting complicated channel routing get in the way of creativity.
All-new Vintage and Plate reverb Styles
Expanding on the clean, natural sound of Pro-R, Pro-R 2 introduces two new reverb algorithms that bring a diversity of retro flavors to mixes. ‘Vintage’ is inspired by classic digital reverb units of the ’80s and ’90s, and is the go-to for long, bright hyper-real spatial ambiences, while ‘Plate’ serves up the evocative metallic sound of plate reverb — ideal for drums and vocals. Together, the two new styles broaden Pro-R 2’s spatializing remit out from the realistic physical environments for which its predecessor was known into more overtly synthetic textural territory.
Impulse response (IR) import
As if tripling the number of reverb styles on offer was not enough, Pro-R 2 also adds the ability to import impulse responses and have them automatically recreated as algorithmic setups — including Decay Rate and Post EQ shaping — that closely match their sonic characteristics. Whether wanting to binge on the vast array of free impulse responses available online, or capture and emulate favorite vocal booth, drum room, or hardware reverb in Pro-R 2, IR import opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Extended reverb parameters and controls
Pro-R 2 provides even more tools with which to design dream reverbs. Set the wet signal level to drop whenever the dry signal is present with the Ducking control; dial in density and saturation with the Thickness knob; get your Phil Collins on with the tempo-syncable Auto Gate; and capture and hold the tail indefinitely with a click of the Freeze button. No matter what anyone’s reverberation goal might be, Pro-R 2 has everything needed to realize it.
Full-featured preset browser
A great improvement on the simple hierarchical menu of Pro-R, Pro-R 2’s streamlined new preset browser makes it easier than ever to navigate and manage the factory library and user presets. Assign editable tags for filtered searching, set presets as favorites for one-click filtering, and add author names and text descriptions. And if the original Pro-R is installed then all its presets appear in Pro-R 2’s library as well.

notes: 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.
feature: Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiences and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals
Full immersive / Dolby Atmos® functionality, with channel layouts up to 9.1.6. A lot of time has been spent to implement surround cross feeding, resulting in an exceptionally convincing ‘sense of space’
Introducing two brand-new reverb algorithms: Vintage and Plate, recreating classic digital reverbs and the metallic plate sound
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
Distance control to adjust the proximity to the sound source in the selected space
Introducing a full-featured preset browser, with support for tags, favorites and easy searching and filtering
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
Added optional Speakers setting for Decay Rate and Post EQ bands in surround/immersive layouts, offering much more control over decay times in a room model
Added mid/side and L/R options for Post EQ bands
