Multiband compression and expansion are powerful tools
but notoriously difficult to set up and control. Enter FabFilter Pro-MB: making multiband dynamics processing intuitive yet powerful at the same time.
A new approach
Instead of conventionally splitting the entire spectrum with crossovers
Pro-MB enables you to directly create a new band at the frequency range you want to work on. Think bands
not crossovers.
The interactive multiband display clearly shows that the rest of the spectrum stays untouched. And if desired
you can easily snap bands together to recreate a traditional crossover system.
Lifesaver and timesaver
FabFilter Pro-MB introduces a unique Dynamic Phase processing mode. It has virtually the same frequency response as traditional multiband processing
but doesn't introduce latency or pre-ringing
and only introduces minor phase changes when the gain actually changes. Of course
we have also included an excellent Linear Phase mode and a traditional Minimum Phase mode.
The powerful combination of high quality processing
optimized workflow using the interactive multiband display and all the expert features you need
makes Pro-MB both a lifesaver and timesaver!
