FabFilter Pro-R 2, a transformative update to our groundbreaking Pro-R reverb. Pro-R 2 brings a raft of new next-gen features to what was already a widely respected reverb plug-in, including surround and Dolby Atmos compatibility, two brand-new reverb algorithms, IR import and replication, ducking and gating functions, analog-style saturation and much more. It’s a huge technological and functional leap forward for the plug-in, and one made without any compromise to the slick workflow and stellar sound quality that Pro-R users already know and love.

Full immersive audio support
Place your 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’s 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 your 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 your 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 wasn’t 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 you want to binge on the vast array of free impulse responses available online, or capture and emulate your favorite vocal booth, drum room or hardware reverb in Pro-R 2, IR import opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Key Features:

• Versatile, user-friendly and sonically superlative professional reverb with three core algorithms for simulating realistic physical spaces, retro digital hardware and electromechanical plates
• Unified room model and decay time (Space) knob, facilitating smooth transitions between reverb sizes and styles, from tiny boxes to vast arenas and everything in between
  
• Innovative Decay Rate EQ for incredibly precise shaping of tail frequencies over time, and six-band Post EQ for output equalization
• Full immersive audio support up to 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos, with per-band Decay Rate and Post EQ channel routing, and a dedicated panel for balancing individual reverb parameter levels between the front and back of the image
• 'Vintage’ reverb algorithm, replicating the sound and character of early digital reverbs
• ‘Plate’ reverb algorithm, replicating the sound and character of vintage plate reverbs
• IR import function (WAV and AIFF): algorithmically recreate and manipulate the sounds of your favorite impulse responses within Pro-R 2
