FabFilter Pro-C is a professional compressor plug-in with three different compression styles clean, classic and opto. These styles are program dependent. The user friendly interface and the superior sound quality and the flexible routing are attractive.
FabFilter Pro-C is not only a good sounding compressor but also an unusual stereo compressor. The Mid/Side compression, side-chaining with built-in filters or even with external sources makes it to works to any of your desired need. The top section of the FabFilter Pro-C user interface, controls the dynamic behavior and consists of the level and time parameters. Output parameters are present on the right section of the interface. Left bottom corner of the interface is for the displays while the right bottom corner contains the MIDI learn controls which offer the possibility to easily associate any MIDI controller with any plug-in parameter. The key features of this software include Program dependent attack and release curves, Zero latency click-free 64-bit internal processing and External side chain. Moving compression level display with customizable curves gives you an idea about when, why, and how compression is applied to the audio signal. As usual for a FabFilter product the perfectly tuned knobs, MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions are also present in this software.
The easy to understand manual, interactive help hints and innovative interface makes the compression easy to grasp for everyone
v1.1 [Oct 17, 2008]
It's now possible to enter positive values in the parameter value display for the Threshold knob, so for example, typing "12" will also result in "-12 dB".
Improved the way parameter values with custom ranges and transforms are shown by Audio Unit hosts and Pro Tools (e.g. for automation purposes).
In addition to the RTAS format, the plug-in is now also available in the AudioSuite format for Pro Tools.
Added a Deauthorize option to the plug-in's Help menu, which makes it easy to delete your license key from a computer if needed.
The plug-in is now Unicode-aware and correctly handles international characters on both Windows and Mac OS X, for example in preset folders and file names.
Fixed bug that caused the help file to open only in the first instance of the plug-in.
Fixed incorrect redrawing in the plug-in interface that could occur in some cases in Pro Tools on Mac, for example when selecting from the Pro Tools-provided presets menu in the plug-in header.
